Financial Tribune - Major currencies soared in Tehran on Tuesday amid new concerns among market participants about a decision by the Financial Action Task Force on Iran by the weekend.

The US dollar was worth 14,440 rials in Tehran�s open market, up 2,500 rials compared to Monday�s close. One Euro bought 15,600 rials.

Currency prices have been rising over the past several days as the FATF, the international money-laundering watchdog, gets ready to decide whether or not to put Iran on its dreaded blacklist.
