Iranian currency and financial market fluctuations

Overview

The Iranian financial market continues to experience volatility across currency, precious metals, and digital assets. Following military clashes between Iran and the United States, the US dollar climbed toward the 211,000 to 214,000 Toman range by early September 2026.

By mid-September, currency rates showed significant increases. As of September 14, the US dollar reached approximately 222,200 Tomans, while the Euro was priced at 258,180 Tomans and the British Pound at 301,760 Tomans. In the digital asset sector, Tether rose to 221,480 Tomans, and Bitcoin was trading at 80,710 USD. Gold markets also fluctuated, with 18-karat gold valued at 23,860 Tomans per gram on September 13, while the global gold ounce was recorded at 4,470 USD.

By September 5, the currency market faced extreme volatility, with the US dollar peaking above 230,000 Tomans before undergoing corrections. This instability was driven by political and military uncertainty, alongside new economic sanctions announced by the US Department of the Treasury. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated intentions to implement an ‘economic expulsion operation’ to isolate the Iranian economy, targeting banks and potentially the aviation and shipping sectors.

In response, the Central Bank of Iran attempted to intervene to absorb liquidity. Despite assurances from Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati regarding sufficient foreign exchange reserves, the market reacted sharply to potential disruptions in remittance routes through Turkey and Dubai. This instability has contributed to rising inflation, impacting the costs of gold, coins, and medicines, leading to concerns among lawmakers regarding pharmaceutical raw material shortages and the sustainability of the national healthcare system. Additionally, rising costs have extended to housing, with the price of ‘Tase 1405’ certificates increasing, raising the total cost for maximum housing loans in Tehran by approximately 4.8 percent.
