Tehran bourse opens Saturday with a divergence: main index down 0.63 percent while the equal weighted index rises
Aug 1, 2026
The first trading session of the week on the Tehran Stock Exchange opened on Saturday 1 August 2026 (10 Mordad 1405) with its gauges moving in opposite directions. According to Shakhesban data at 09:25 Tehran time, the main index was down about 33,000 points at around 5,042,000. Sahmino's own price board put the main index at 5,043,321 points at 09:24 the same day, down 31,778 points or 0.63 percent.
At the same hour the equal weighted index was moving the other way, up about 6,500 points at around 1,439,000. That gauge had closed on Wednesday 29 July at 1,432,861 points. The Iran Fara Bourse index was trading down about 67 points at around 40,901, after ending Wednesday at 40,968.
The main index had closed at 5,075,000 points on Wednesday 29 July, the last working day of the previous week. The equal weighted index outperforming the main index means selling pressure in the opening hours was concentrated in the large index heavyweights, the same pattern seen in Wednesday's session. The figures above are from the early part of the session; Tehran's official session ends at 12:30, so the closing figures may differ.

Tehran Stock Exchange main index closes 0.4% lower on Saturday; equal-weight index sets a closing record
The Tehran Stock Exchange main index closed on Saturday 1 August 2026 (10 Mordad 1405) down 20,435 points, or 0.4%, easing from 5,075,000 points to 5,054,000 points. On the same day the equal-weight index rose by more than 6,694 points to 1,439,000, its highest closing level on record; its intraday peak of 1,442,000 was set in the middle of the same session. The heaviest drag on the main index came from the Shepna, Shebandar and Parsan symbols, with the drilling and refined petroleum products group posting the largest sectoral decline, while Femeli, Kegol and Tasico kept the index from falling further. During the session 439 symbols traded in positive territory against 460 in negative territory, with buy and sell queues numbering 225 and 139 respectively. The divergence between the main index and the equal-weight index indicates that larger capitalisation symbols have been more sensitive to the tense political and military backdrop.

Tehran Stock Exchange drew 6,300 billion tomans of retail money last week as the equal weight index set a record with a 5.66 percent gain
The Tehran Stock Exchange ended the week to 30 July 2026 with its indices higher, after two weeks of correction. According to a report by the Tasnim news agency, the main TEDPIX index rose 3.9 percent over the week to 5,075,000 points, reclaiming the psychological threshold of 5 million points. The equal weight index performed more strongly, rising 5.66 percent to 1,432,000 points, its best weekly showing in six weeks and a new all time high. The equal weight gauge outpacing the main index indicates that last week's flow of liquidity moved mainly toward small and mid sized companies. Retail investors were net buyers on four of the week's five trading days, with an outflow recorded only on the final session; in total, more than 6,300 billion tomans of retail money entered the market. The average daily value of retail trading over the week was about 27,000 billion tomans. Retail turnover and retail money flow are the two variables market participants watch to gauge liquidity and the durability of a trend.

State Inspectorate: government receivables from petrochemical and refining companies reached 734 trillion tomans by late December 2025
Ashkan Mirmohammadi, spokesman for Iran's General Inspection Organisation, said on Saturday, 1 August 2026, that the government's total receivables from petrochemical and refining companies had reached 734 trillion tomans by the end of Azar 1404 (late December 2025). He said a significant portion of the debt relates to feedstock and fuel delivered to these companies. According to the announcement, of that total the National Iranian Oil Company is owed 334 trillion tomans, the National Iranian Gas Company 273 trillion tomans and the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company 105 trillion tomans. Mirmohammadi said that in the first stage of follow up, 76 trillion tomans of the receivables were collected, along with 64 trillion tomans in guarantee cheques and 13 trillion tomans in letters of credit. After 59 warning letters were issued to indebted companies, a further 45 trillion tomans was collected, with part of the remaining claims still in the collection process. He listed the reasons put forward by the indebted companies as payments made under tax seizure orders, disputes over pricing bases, and the non payment of the companies' own counter claims against the government, adding that the Special Affairs Inspection Office is verifying those explanations. Refining and petrochemical groups are among the most heavily weighted sectors on the Tehran Stock Exchange, and settling these claims bears on their cash flow and profitability.
