Tehran Stock Exchange Nears 6 Million Point Threshold in a Fourth Straight Positive Week

Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed the last trading day of last week, Thursday, 29 Mordad 1405, at 5,952,000 points, narrowing its distance to the 6 million point threshold to under 1 percent. According to Donya-e-Eqtesad, it was the bourse's fourth consecutive positive week, with 4.8 trillion tomans of retail money flowing in; the main index is up 60 percent and the equal weighted index up more than 77 percent since the start of the Iranian calendar year. Sahmino's own price data likewise recorded the index at 5,952,488 points as of 29 Mordad 1405 (August 19, 2026), consistent with the Donya-e-Eqtesad figure.

Ebrahim Samavi, a financial markets analyst, told Donya-e-Eqtesad that if the rally broadens beyond a handful of large caps to include small and mid cap stocks alongside index heavyweight industries, the market's upward momentum would strengthen. Analysts said a durable break above 6 million points would require stronger catalysts, with the index's next resistance near 6.2 million points; should political risks intensify, a correction scenario toward support around 4.4 to 4.5 million points remains on the table.
