Mortgage-backed securities continued to lose value this week, prompting an increase in demand for them. The downward trend of these securities took the markets by surprise considering their relative stability in recent months, ISNA reported Friday.  The latest price for mortgage-backed securities was recorded at 700,000 rials ($21 at market exchange rate).
