Военные удары США по целям в Иране усиливают рыночную нестабильность, Иран разрабатывает план возобновления работы фондового рынка

Odaily Planet Daily reports: A U.S. official said that the U.S. military carried out strikes against military targets on Khark Island.

As Russia has benefited from global oil price increases triggered by the situation in Iran, the country’s crude oil price has risen to the highest level in more than 13 years. According to data from Argus Media, on April 2, at Primorsk port, the largest oil export facility on Russia’s Baltic coast, the country’s flagship Urals crude oil price reached $116.05 per barrel. This price excludes transportation costs and is nearly twice the average $59 per barrel assumed in Russia’s budget for this year. Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, substantial oil revenues are easing the Kremlin’s fiscal pressure.

In addition, the head of the Iran Securities Exchange organization stated that four plans are currently being developed for the reopening of the Iranian stock market: 1. Maintain the current conditions—allow only fund trading, or reopen under the existing conditions but without publicly disclosing information; 2. Escalation of the fighting, which may lead to a suspension of all trading, including fund trading; 3. Reopen after a written ceasefire agreement; 4. In the absence of an agreement for a ceasefire, gradually resume trading. The Iranian stock market previously suspended trading on March 1. (Jin10)
