Regarding capital market of Iran which saw a transformational change in its return—approximately28%– which continued about two months after implementation of JCPOA, the overall economy is, still, in transition process. This means that we will witness signs of improvement in the economy of Iran at least in the second half of Iranian fiscal year, according to economic experts. Thus, the profitability of listed companies could be positively impacted on the back of reopening in business deals with foreign firms in due time. In this vein, increase in oil prices and commodities touching presently historical floor prices, mingled with dollar index predicted to climb down in the second half of 2016–provided that inflation rate reach its targeted rate of 2% by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) chaired by Janet Yellen—are the catalysts looked forward to bolstering financial gains in the capital market of Iran
Meanwhile, the entrance of the benchmark index into correction phase was not unprecedented as the growth in the market was accelerated on the hills of historic nuclear deal without ample fundamental base to support such immediate rise in the All-Share Index.
That said, the market is expecting some real driving positive news to take off. There is some anecdotal evidence that the interest rate for banking system might come down to 16%, a measure considered crucial and vital for the deepening and development of the stock market. This combined with the holding of AGMs in the next coming month for Iranian companies might lead to relative activity in the market.
All in, the market performance is recorded to be better than its prior month in the Persian month “Khordad” (21 May-20 June) and the chances are that it might exit the downward correction path in this time period.
Elsewhere, as commodities’ prices are ending their down cycle in the world markets, it is believed that the minerals and the relevant industries could experience spike in their prices. With respect to rising oil price trajectory, this will influence petrochemical and oil products segments in the capital market and, in turn, would intrigue activity in trading among market practitioners since these are among sectors taking up most weight of the market capitalization in Tehran Stock Market and act as leaders for the rest of the sectors.
Furthermore, high financing costs are another big issue with the firms in the market in the light of expensive rate of loans offered by the banking system. With the reduction of interest rates in the foreseeable future to near inflation rate, we can forecast improvement in the net profit margins of related listed companies and higher Price-Earnings ratios in the passage of time.

The market rallied today on a flurry of good news. Based on unofficial statements of one the SEO’s directors (Security and Exchange Organization of Iran), an ETF will be established soon which its unit holders have an option to sell 30 percent higher than initial price within one year maturity. If the NAV improves more than 30%, the units can be sold at market price. That means the fund will guarantee at least 30 percent interest for a year which is higher than deposit interest rates of all the banks. It is also mentioned that all the legal market entities can offer and underwrite these kinds of funds and the first one will be offered by the Market Development Fund. However, no more details have been officially approved by the SEO until now.
