The Chinese yuan (CNY) is the currency of Iran’s number-one trading partner; a large share of Iran’s imported goods comes from China, and thousands of Iranian merchants and manufacturers need the yuan rate daily for pricing and transfers.

China keeps the yuan managed and its global fluctuation is mild; but the Toman yuan rate mostly follows Tehran’s dollar. In periods when trade with China has become more direct, yuan demand has risen as well.

What determines this price?

Tehran’s dollar rate

The Toman yuan is priced through the dollar; most of its fluctuation comes from the domestic market, not China.

Chinese central bank policy

China controls the yuan’s volatility; the dollar direction of Chinese monetary policy affects the yuan’s global price.

Iran–China trade volume

Peak buying seasons (before Nowruz and in autumn) and transfer restrictions shift the yuan’s supply and demand in Iran’s market.
