Eighteen karat gold set a fresh record in Tehran today, climbing about two point six three percent. The free market dollar crossed two hundred and one thousand tomans today, a first in its history. TEDPIX, Tehran's headline index, kept climbing today and built its third straight record. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said early today Washington was launching its largest economic attack on Iran. Eighteen karat gold reached over twenty two million tomans today, and the Emami coin rose as well. Today's gold rally is fed by both the rising global ounce and the jumping free market dollar together. Whether you bought today, are still waiting, or are watching the coin premium, three different stories today. Djaber Ebn Hayyan Pharmaceutical, up nearly thirteen percent, is today's hottest large stock on the exchange. Bitcoin stayed quiet today, oil slipped, and the Turkish lira hit a fresh record low. Today we're watching the full sanctions details, tomorrow's gold auction, and US inflation data. Today's verdict: gold, the dollar and stocks all hit records together, so the market is fleeing the rial. So the answer to our first question: yes, today was gold's record day; did you buy gold or dollars today?
