Iranian stock market reopens after 80-day closure

Tehran (ANTARA) - Iran’s stock market reopened on Tuesday (19 May) after an 80-day closure caused by the US-Israel joint strikes. The Tehran Stock Exchange had been closed on 28 February following missile attacks targeting Tehran and several other regions in Iran. The decision was intended to protect investors’ assets, reduce emotionally driven decision-making, and create a trading environment with more accurate and transparent information, Hamid Yari, Deputy Head of the Iran Securities and Exchange Organization, told state media earlier this week.
