Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) main index, TEPIX, registered a new record on Saturday.
The TSE’s ongoing surge continued on Saturday as the TEPIX jumped 406 units , standing at 74,090 in the early morning hours.
In the wake of the imminent implementation of a recent nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers (known as the JCPOA), Iran’s main share index increased by 1344 units on Jan 16, 2016, setting a new record after 18 months of depression.
The recent gains in the Tehran Stock Exchange come against the backdrop of the upcoming announcement of JCPOA implementation, after which all nuclear-related anti-Iran sanctions will be terminated.
