Parliament's economic commission opposes the new directive on releasing 'justice shares'
In mid-Tir 1405 (July 2026), members of parliament's economic commission and the cooperatives-and-justice-shares faction opposed the Securities and Exchange Organization's new directive on the mechanism for releasing 'justice shares' (saham-e edalat), and in a letter to the parliament speaker called for it to be reconsidered. According to the deputy head of the economic commission, the directive, which has been put before the Supreme Council of Securities, contains serious ambiguities and weaknesses, including an unclear oversight mechanism and undefined spending standards at the provincial justice-share investment companies. The lawmakers stressed that any hasty decision on how these shares are freed and managed should be halted. Justice shares are an asset held by millions of Iranians, and any change in how they are administered bears directly on the equity market.

The Tehran Stock Exchange main index (TEDPIX) fell about 107,000 points (close to 2.2 percent) at the open on Saturday, 27 Tir 1405 (18 July 2026), slipping back into the 4.7 million point channel.

Tehran bourse falls again on Wednesday; the main index stays below 4.9 million points
The Tehran Stock Exchange's main index (TEDPIX) closed on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, down about 31,000 points (0.63 percent) at 4,893,000, extending its decline to a fifth consecutive trading session. On Tuesday the index had closed at about 4,924,000 points. The drop came on a day when the free-market dollar reached around 187,000 tomans and 18-carat gold entered the 18-million-toman channel, a sign of liquidity rotating toward parallel markets amid regional tensions. Selling pressure and an outflow of retail money have been the main drivers of the equity market's retreat in recent days.

Tehran Stock Exchange falls for a fourth straight session; main index holds below 5 million on a 1.75% drop
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.

Economy Minister Says Justice Shares Liberalization to Begin Operationally This Summer
Iran's Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh announced that the liberalization of Justice Shares (سهام عدالت), frozen for nearly a decade, will begin operationally this summer of 1405 (2026). According to Tejaratnews (July 2026), the process is contingent on holding general assemblies for roughly 30 provincial Justice investment companies; Iran's Supreme Council of the Stock Exchange had earlier approved the implementation mechanism. No specific date has yet been set for cash dividends to the roughly 50 million Justice Shares holders; the last dividend, for the fiscal year ending March 19, 2025, was paid in Khordad 1405 (May-June 2026). Government officials have made similar liberalization promises before that were not fulfilled.
