[83994] Global market gains following the peace agreement between the US and Iran

Markets respond to the agreement between the US and Iran

Global markets are experiencing significant fluctuations on June 15, 2026, against the backdrop of reports of a significant agreement signed between the United States and Iran. According to the Sondakika Haber Gündem channel, the reduction in geopolitical tension led to a sharp rise of about 3% in the price of gold. The same channel notes that the digital currency market also reacted positively, with Bitcoin surging to the level of $65,500 following the "peace agreement."

In the Turkish economic arena, notable price increases were recorded in gold. The Sansürsüz Gündem channel reported that the week opened with an upward trend, with the price of a gram of gold standing at 6,440 Turkish Lira and the price of a quarter gold coin at 10,530 Turkish Lira. These figures are backed by the Borsa ve Kripto | Haber • Ekonomi • Finans channel, which reported a 2.03% increase in the price of gold and an increase of about 2.37% in Bitcoin.

At the same time, energy prices are showing an opposite trend. According to data from Ekonomi Haberleri 🇹🇷, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil recorded a significant decrease of about 4.56%, a figure that may indicate the fading of the geopolitical risk premium in the Gulf region. The BIST 100 index remained unchanged, while the dollar exchange rate against the Turkish Lira is trading at 46.28.
