The Iranian rial trades on Iran’s free market, where live exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and dozens of other currencies are tracked according to bonbast. The currency has swung sharply in recent months on Tehran’s open market. The dollar dropped from 1.8 million rials to 1.54 million within two days of an initial agreement between Washington and Tehran according to aljazeera. The exchange rate had earlier jumped to a peak of 1.9 million rials to the dollar in March before settling near 1.685 million according to aljazeera.
Iranians have found little relief at the grocery checkout despite the currency’s recovery. Prices for staples such as milk, cheese, cooking oil and flour remain high according to aljazeera.
