Iran will reopen its stock market on Tuesday after a suspension during the conflict with the US and Israel, Iran’s IRNA ​news agency cites a senior official as saying.

“The suspension of stock market activities from the start of the war was aimed at protecting shareholders’ assets, preventing panic-driven trading and allowing for more transparent pricing conditions,” says Hamid Yari, deputy supervisor at the securities and exchange organization.

“Now, with the reopening of the stock market, we will see the full resumption of all capital market sectors,” he adds.
