Tehran Stock Exchange's Main Index Clears the 5.9 Million Mark in Tuesday Trading

Per Sahmino's own recorded Tehran Stock Exchange data, the main index (TEDPIX) rose 70,240.35 points, or 1.19 percent, to 5,968,211.93 points as of 11:39 local time on Tuesday, 18 August 2026 (27 Mordad 1405), with the equal weight index up 12,069.97 points, or 0.73 percent. Earlier in the session, per Donya-e-Eqtesad, the index had touched the 5.9 million mark for a second consecutive day, after retreating from the same level the previous day, Monday, 17 August (26 Mordad), as selling pressure increased.

Donya-e-Eqtesad reported earlier Tuesday that traders remained cautious, with net individual buying of only about 30 billion tomans and 66 percent of reviewed symbols trading in negative territory, while roughly 3 trillion tomans exiting fixed income funds could signal a shift of liquidity toward the stock market.
