If you’ve checked the price of 18K gold in Iran this morning, you’ve probably noticed it’s already shifted since yesterday. Tracking gold rates in Tehran feels less like checking a commodity and more like following a heartbeat—every tick of the global market and every move of the rial sends ripples through the local bazaar.

Six key data points, one pattern: the official TGJU rate sits well above most international aggregators, a gap that likely reflects the difference between wholesale bourse rates and retail market prices in Tehran.

The divergence between local and international sources is striking: TGJU’s 180.6M is roughly 26% higher than LivePriceOfGold’s 134.6M. This suggests the aggregator feeds may be using different purity calculations or lagging behind the actual Tehran bourse.

What is the 18K gold price today?

Live price in Tehran

As of this morning’s update from TGJU (official Tehran Gold & Jewelry Union), one gram of 18-carat gold is trading at 180,632,000 Iranian Rials. The market opened at 179,706,000 Rials and climbed to a session high of 183,074,000 Rials before settling. The net gain of 2,423,000 Rials represents a 1.34% daily increase.

Comparison with yesterday and last week

Yesterday’s close was 178,209,000 Rials. Over the past seven days, however, the price has actually declined overall. According to GoldPricez (gold price aggregator), the 18K rate dropped by 11,080,977 Rials over the week, or 7.52%. Today’s uptick does not yet recover the weekly losses.

Why this matters

For a buyer who held off last week, today’s price is still lower than the 7-day average of 142,858,449 Rials (per GoldPricez). But the upward momentum may signal a trend reversal.

Bottom line: TGJU’s official rate shows 180.6M IRR, while aggregators report 26% less. Buyers should verify which price their jeweller uses.

What are the USD and EUR rates today?

Exchange rates in the free market

Currency rates in Tehran’s unregulated market are a key driver of gold prices. According to Tasnim News (semi-official Iranian news agency), the US dollar was trading around 652,000 Rials, while the euro hovered near 706,000 Rials. The gap between the free-market rate and the official central bank rate remains wide, fueling demand for gold as a hedge.

Impact of currency on gold

Because Iran’s gold market prices are set in Rials, a weakening currency directly pushes gold prices higher. The rial has depreciated roughly 40% over the past year against the dollar, explaining the 64.09% annual rise in the 18K ounce price reported by Exchange-Rates.org.

The trade-off

Investors who bought gold six months ago have seen their Rial-denominated holdings grow faster than any bank deposit. But anyone planning to convert back to hard currency faces the same free-market spread.

Bottom line: The rial’s 40% annual depreciation is the main engine behind gold’s 64% yearly gain. Free-market rates, not official ones, set the real price.

What is the global spot gold price today?

Live global spot

International spot gold is quoted at $407.146 per troy ounce, according to Donya-e-Eqtesad (Iranian economic daily). This is the benchmark for all domestic pricing adjustments.

Weekly changes in global spot

Global gold has been range-bound this week, with the ounce price fluctuating between $401 and $410. The current level is about 1.5% above last week’s close. Because Iran’s gold price formula links 18K gold to global spot (adjusted for purity and rial rate), any global move amplifies in Rial terms.

Bottom line: Global gold at $407/oz is 1.5% above last week. Each dollar move is magnified in Rial terms due to the exchange rate.

What are the coin and 1kg gold prices today?

Emami coin today

The Emami gold coin (full Bahar Azadi) is quoted at 181,010,000 Rials by TGJU. The coin trades at a slight premium over the melt value of its gold content, reflecting collectors’ and savers’ demand.

One kilogram of 18K gold

At the current gram rate, one kilogram of 18-carat gold costs 180,632,000,000 Rials (approximately $277,000 at the free-market exchange rate). That’s enough to buy a midsize apartment in north Tehran.

Bottom line: The Emami coin at 181M IRR is near the 18K gram rate, while a kilo of 18K gold at 180.6B IRR rivals real estate values.

How are gold price fluctuations calculated?

Factors affecting gold price in Iran

  • Global spot price: The international dollar-denominated ounce price forms the base.
  • USD free-market rate: Multiply by the rial exchange rate to get the local equivalent.
  • Purity adjustment: 18K gold is 75% pure; the formula uses 0.75 × (spot × exchange rate).
  • Supply and demand: Wedding season, currency crises, and political uncertainty all drive premiums.
  • Government regulation: Tehran Gold & Jewelry Union publishes a daily reference price that retailers use as a ceiling.

How to check live prices

For official rates, TGJU (Tehran Gold & Jewelry Union) is the most authoritative source. For cross-referencing, Tasnim News and Donya-e-Eqtesad provide daily market reports. International aggregators like LivePriceOfGold offer live updates but may lag or use different units.

“Iran’s 18K gold price per gram is 136,236,460.12 IRR in its current market value section.”

GoldPricez (gold price aggregator)

“The highest 18K gold ounce price in the last year was 190,682,782 IRR on 2025-12-26; the lowest was 110,860,330 IRR on 2025-01-01.”

Exchange-Rates.org (currency and metals data provider)

“AlanChand’s live gold page timestamp is Wednesday, 10 June 2026 at 08:20 UTC+3:30, showing 177,642,1002.31 IRR in one table row.”

Confirmed facts

  • TGJU official 18K gram rate: 180,632,000 IRR (today)
  • Daily range: 179,706,000 – 183,074,000 IRR
  • Global spot: $407.146/oz
  • Emami coin: 181,010,000 IRR
  • USD free market: ~652,000 IRR

What remains unclear

  • Why international aggregators show 15–30% lower prices (possible purity definitions or lag)
  • Whether TGJU’s rate includes retail markup or is a wholesale benchmark
  • AlanChand’s dual figures (177.6M vs 177.2M) unresolved
  • Real-time divergence between free-market and official currency rates

For anyone buying or selling gold in Tehran today, the central takeaway is that the TGJU price is the reference used by most jewelers, but the actual transaction price may include a premium of 3–5%. The gap with international aggregators is a red flag for data accuracy: if you see a much lower price online, check whether it’s for 18K or for a different fineness.

Frequently asked questions

What is 18K gold and how much pure gold does it contain?

18K gold is 75% pure gold (750 parts per thousand). The remaining 25% is alloy metals like copper, silver, or zinc, which add durability. It is the most common gold purity for jewellery in Iran.

Why do different websites show different 18K gold prices for Iran?

Sources like TGJU report the official Tehran bourse rate, while aggregators like GoldPricez may use calculated rates based on global spot plus an assumed exchange rate. Differences in timing, purity rounding, and whether the price includes retail margin also cause disparities.

How can I get the real-time 18K gold price in Tehran?

Check TGJU (official union) for the daily reference price. For live updates, follow Tasnim News or Donya-e-Eqtesad market pages.

Why is Iran’s gold price higher than global gold price converted at official rates?

The gap reflects the difference between the official subsidized exchange rate (used for imports) and the free-market rate (used for actual gold trading). Gold is priced at the free-market rate, which is significantly higher.

Is now a good time to buy gold in Iran?

With the rial under pressure and global gold near $407/oz, gold remains a popular hedge. However, today’s price is near the middle of the day’s range. Buyers should compare TGJU’s rate with the final price quoted by the jeweller, as margins vary.

What are the tax and purity requirements for selling gold in Iran?

Gold sales in Iran are subject to a 9% value-added tax (VAT) on the workmanship and profit margin, not on the gold content itself. The seller must provide a valid invoice. Purity is typically verified by the seller’s hallmark.

How does the price of 18K gold compare to 24K gold today?

24K gold (99.9% pure) is priced at 240,840,000 IRR per gram according to TGJU, which is about 33% higher than 18K. The difference exactly matches the purity ratio.
