On the first day of the last week of Mehr, the cash rate of the dollar fell by more than one percent to 263,300 tomans. This decrease occurred while the dollar had ended the third week of Mehr almost unchanged after a decline of over four percent in the first four days and a recovery of a significant portion of that in the final days. It seems that alongside the strengthening of upward expectations due to heightened geopolitical risks, the currency market maker has intensified downward pressure on prices to curb these expectations and prevent the dollar from returning to higher levels.
