Donyaye Eghtesad: An examination of the domestic car market from the beginning of Mehr to yesterday indicates a 20% increase in average prices. It seems that the over 14% rise in currency prices, the publication of news regarding a potential 25% increase in car manufacturers' product prices, and a roughly 29% decrease in supply in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year are among the most significant variables affecting the car market trend. The intensification of political tensions and the release of news about the possibility of renewed war between Tehran and Washington following statements from White House officials have left their mark on the trends in Iran's markets. Meanwhile, the currency market has faced a rise of 34,000 tomans, equivalent to 14.7%, from the beginning of Mehr to yesterday. An analysis of the Iranian car market trend since the beginning of this year also shows that this market has been more influenced by currency variables than any other factor.
