Market Recovery After Prolonged Slump
After 11 consecutive days of decline, Iran’s capital market saw a strong rebound today, with the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) index climbing by 16,248 points to reach 2,571,125 units. The market had been on a downward trend since July 19, dropping from the 2.8 million-unit threshold to 2.5 million units before today’s recovery.
The equal-weighted index also rose by 2,133 units, settling at 784,386 units, signaling broad-based gains across multiple sectors.

Today’s session saw 179 advancing stocks against 153 decliners, with over 37,000 buyers participating in the market. Overall, the market grew by 0.64%, with 261,000 transactions worth approximately 8,271 billion tomans executed.
Leading the gains were Faras, Webmelat, and Nouri, which had the most positive impact on the index. High-volume trading was observed in Webmelat, Khodro, and Foulad.

Expert Insights: Fundamentals vs. External Pressures
Market analysts highlight that while the capital market’s fundamentals remain strong, external factors such as political variables, liquidity shortages, investor caution, and speculative trading have hindered sustained growth.
Despite recent setbacks, the TSE had previously achieved record highs, surpassing 3.2 million units before the recent correction. Experts suggest that restoring long-term confidence and stability could pave the way for further recovery.
