Tehran Stock Exchange falls for a fourth straight session; main index holds below 5 million on a 1.75% drop
Jul 14, 2026
The Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed on Tuesday, 14 July 2026, down about 1.75 percent, shedding nearly 89,000 points to around 4,967,000 units, and held below the 5 million mark for a fourth consecutive session.
The sell-off was accompanied by an outflow of roughly 4,000 billion tomans of retail (real) money from the market. Analysts cited political and regional risks, worry over tension in the Strait of Hormuz, and the prospect of higher interest rates as the main drivers of the continued decline. Even so, some groups such as pharmaceuticals showed signs of returning demand.
The same day's jump in the free-market dollar above 180,000 tomans has pulled part of retail liquidity out of equities and toward the currency and gold markets.

India's stocks fall on Tuesday under oil pressure, Sensex below 77,500
India's BSE Sensex closed Tuesday, July 21, down 238 points, or 0.31 percent, at 77,470, while the Nifty 50 fell 51 points (0.21 percent) to 24,188. The main driver was Brent crude holding around $90 a barrel amid West Asia tensions and news of mediation between the US and Iran. India is one of the world's largest oil importers, and a sustained rise in oil prices increases the risk of inflation, a wider trade deficit, and pressure on corporate profits. Among stocks, Cipla was the weakest performer, down about 2 percent, while information-technology and automaker shares also declined.
