The price of oil has been one of the most important variables affecting the stock market in Iran for years; however, the relationship between black gold and the stock exchange has not remained stable over time. In years when oil revenues and access to foreign currency played a more significant role in the economy, an increase in oil prices could coincide with a booming stock market. Nevertheless, the intensification of sanctions, currency fluctuations, chronic inflation, and changes in the revenue-generating mechanisms of companies have gradually transformed this relationship. In some periods, a decrease in oil prices has occurred simultaneously with a rise in the stock market, while in other periods, an increase in the price of black gold has had no noticeable effect on stock indicators.
