Iran stock exchange hits 1-year high after nuke deal

The Tehran Stock Exchange has rallied to a one-year high in the wake of Iran’s landmark nuclear deal with world powers last summer.

Hamid Rouhbakhsh, a spokesman for the stock exchange, says the index was at its highest peak in more than twelve months.

The volume of daily trade has increased from $40 million to $133 million since the implementation of the nuclear deal in January 2016.

Stockbroker Tahereh Mollaie says the rise shows that “trust is restoring to the market.”
