Continuing the trend of rising prices in Iran's gold and currency markets, each US dollar surpassed 64,000 tomans at the start of trading on Thursday, April 5. The price of gold coins also reached 44 million and 700 thousand tomans. According to price information websites, each euro hit a record of 69,400 tomans and the British pound reached 81,000 tomans. The gold coin was traded at 44 million and 700 thousand tomans, half coin at 26 million and 900 thousand tomans, and quarter coin at 16 million and 900 thousand tomans at the beginning of today's trading. Reports indicate that the upward trend in the dollar price began in late February of last year, rising from 50,000 tomans to the 60,000 tomans range by the end of March. The increase in the dollar price continued during the Nowruz holidays and accelerated following an attack attributed to Israel on the Islamic Republic's consulate in Damascus, setting new records. The price of gold coins also increased due to the rising dollar price, and with the recent record-breaking global gold prices, the price of coins in Iran surged even more. The increase in the dollar price in Iran affects people's lives. Reports show that with a 10,000 tomans increase in the dollar price in March, the average price per square meter of housing in Tehran approached 82 million tomans. Experts believe that the impact of the dollar price increase will soon be evident in people's livelihoods, and this price increase has effectively neutralized wage increases up to today.
