Hossein Abdoh Tabrizi, head of Financial and Economic Research Institute of Transport and Housing, anticipated a shift in TSE’s dented sentiment in the near future.

“TSE’s benchmark was notching new highs on upbeat speculations prior to the announcement of the nuclear agreement, so it was unlikely to witness continuous uptrend after the deal ,” said Abdoh Tabrizi. “Basically, nothing has happened yet with regard to the economy.”
