How to read this page
The exchange publishes Rial per kilogram; only the currency is converted here, to Toman per kilogram. VAT, fees and freight are not added.
These are session trades, not a live tick. Each good trades in its own session, so “previous session” means that good’s own previous session, not yesterday.
Every average is weighted by tonnage: a 5,000-tonne lot and a 25-tonne lot do not move the figure equally.
The seasonal pattern and the demand-to-supply ratio describe past behaviour. Neither is a price forecast.
