كسبه اين بخش از بازار بر اين باورند كه هجوم سرمايه داران براى خريد طلا مهم ترين عامل تاثير گذار بر افزايش قيمت ها بوده است.از سوى ديگر بورس نيز روز قبل با سقوط ۶۰ واحدى خود شرايط را براى تقويت بازار طلا فراهم آورد. از قرار معلوم بسيارى از صاحبان سرمايه از ترس روز هاى آينده و دولت بعدى كه با مشى محافظه كار سركار خواهد آمد، به سمت تبديل پول هاى نقد خود به طلا رفته اند.وضعيت بازار سرمايه با حضور كانديداى محافظه كاران در راس هرم دولت با معضلات بسيارى مواجه خواهد شد. بانك ها نيز شايد در آينده اى نه چندان دور تحولاتى را در سيستم كارى خود شاهد باشند.روز قبل تمام اين عوامل دست در دست هم داد تا بهاى طلا در بازار افزايش يابد. در همين حال گمان مى رود كه سير صعودى قيمت ها با شتابى خيره كننده در روز هاى آينده به سوى بالا حركت كند.

چرا كه حال همگان به سمت خريد طلا مى روند.در همين حال روز پيش سكه بهار آزادى با رشد ۵۰۰ تومانى به قيمت يكصد و ۱۸ هزار و ۵۰۰ تومان رسيد. پيش بينى مى شود قيمت ها در آينده نزديك اين مرز را پشت سر گذارد و به بهاى بالاترى برسد.ديروز سكه بهار آزادى طرح جديد هم با رشد يك هزار تومانى به بهاى ۹۶ هزار و ۵۰۰ تومان دست يافت. اين اتفاق در شرايطى صورت پذيرفت كه بهاى اين كالاى گرانبها تا ابتداى هفته جارى با افت مواجه بود ولى حالا به ناگاه قيمت ها به سمت بالا حركت مى كنند. نيم سكه هم ديروز با همين ميزان رشد به بهاى ۴۹ هزار و ۵۰۰ تومان رسيد. قيمت اين نوع از سكه هم پس اعلام خبر دور دومى شدن انتخابات و حضور نماينده اى راديكال از محافظه كاران، رشد كرد.ربع سكه هم ديروز با قدرى رشد به ۳۱ هزار و ۵۰۰ تومان نزديك شد.

As a bastion of traditional life in Iran, the modern world has brought mixed blessings to Tehran’s great bazaar.

Its domed arches and corrugated tin roofs still cover a maze of shops, mosques and teeming alleyways. Porters pull goods on rickety carts. The bazaar’s central lane, a covered alleyway running south from the main entrance at Sabze Meydoon, is packed with shoppers. Bazaaris distribute dates and cakes on Thursday, eve of the Muslim holy day, as an offering for the faithful departed.

Retailers may have lost some business to new shopping centres as the city has expanded, but the city’s Metro has given parts of the bazaar fresh appeal as the city’s population has grown.

The bazaaris are nevertheless apprehensive - unsettled by a deluge of cheap Chinese goods and now by talk of international sanctions over Iran’s nuclear programme.

Signs of change are everywhere. The old pattern of wholesalers and retailers grouping together with others in the same line of business has gradually relaxed.

“Iron smiths lane” now sells mainly nuts and dried fruit and in the “shoe makers’ bazaar” there are few shoe makers.

Half way down “shoe maker’s bazaar”, Hassan Azari, 78, runs a leather wholesale business in the shop his father bought 60 years ago. Behind him are many rolls of leather and to his side a worn, wooden abacus.

“My grandfather and all my relatives were bazaaris,” he said. “Since those days, there’s been an upheaval. Until seven or eight years ago, this alley was full of shoe-sellers and people came to buy shoes. Wholesalers, like us, were here with the shoe shops.

“As the city became larger, gradually shoppers could go to other places. Of course Chinese shoes have also had a big effect – they’re half the price so it’s hard for Iranian small producers to compete, although customers are gradually realising Chinese shoes are low grade and are beginning to look again for Iranian-made leather shoes.”

In the shoe-makers’ bazaar, Mr Azari’s leather shop is an island of stability. “We deal with producers, so the shoe-makers’ departure hasn’t affected us. There are still some workshops nearby who produce shoes, and they need the raw material. So our basic business hasn’t changed.”

Shoes are just part of a deluge of Chinese goods, many of which come unofficially. The real level of imports is underplayed by Iran-China trade figures due to reach $16bn this year from $1.3bn in 2000.

The bazaar’s retailers have adapted by stocking Chinese products, Mr Azari continues, noting that they can shift more easily than wholesalers from one line to another.

A focus of the city’s life even before Tehran became Iran’s capital in 1786, the bazaar grew in importance when its traders forged an alliance with the Shia Muslim clergy, in common opposition to undue foreign influence, ahead of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Most bazaaris are sceptical, however, about President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad. Even if they are not directly affected by UN sanctions against companies linked to Iran’s nuclear programme, or by US pressure on international banks to block dollar transactions with Iran, they sense that the president’s assertive foreign policy may disrupt the flow of business.

“When something happens, business goes down,” says Mr Azari. “The shoe factories raise their prices if there are special circumstances, and when prices go up there are fewer customers, and so we get paid later and then the producers are paid later too.”

In a shiny new shop just near the main bazaar entrance, Hossein Abbas-Alizadeh, 73, sells Chinese-made artificial flowers, photo-frames and figurines.

He switched to retail four years ago, ending over 50 years as a shoe-wholesaler, a trade inherited from his father.

“The trouble with wholesale was that it became harder and harder to get people to pay,” he says. “I do a little wholesaling, but only with people who I know and trust. The retail business is doing okay – thanks be to God – and my son is currently in China looking for ways to improve our business.”

Less change is evident towards the end of the shoe-makers bazaar where there are hundreds of carpet dealers. Somewhere away to the right is a covered courtyard of traders mainly from Hamedan, a city in western Iran.

Here Mohammad Hassan Salamat, 66, reflects the age-old philosophy of the bazaar, naturally disposed to say business is poor for fear of tempting fate. In front of piles of carpets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, he wears Chinese-made shoes he bought for 5,000 tomans (a little under $5). “They’ve now gone down to 3,000 tomans,” he says, disappointed. “So it’s no wonder most Iranian shoemakers have gone out of business.”

Mr Salamat came to Tehran from Hamedan 50 years ago, well before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and has since been selling hand-made carpets to a diminishing trickle of foreign tourists.

Hanging behind his desk, next to the samovar, is a carpet from Enjilos, a village near Hamedan demolished over 30 years ago to make way for an airport. The carpet has a tinge of green on the corners of its mainly red and blue.

Mr Salamat has others made by Armenians in Esfahan, rugs from Qashqai and Bakhtiari nomads, and kilims from the Caucasus. He also has five or six donkey covers from the Sanjabi tribe, in Iran’s Kurdish region, whose natural dyes glimmer even in the half light.

The market for high-quality carpets has rested for over a century on foreign - especially western - demand. While hand-woven carpet and textile exports reached around $1.2bn last year, up 20 per cent according to official figures, the collapse of inward tourism due to the nuclear stand-off has all but removed the spot buyer.

“In our business, we’re not earning,” says Mr Salamat. “Porters’ charges have gone up by 40 per cent in the past year. It used to be 350 tomans to move a carpet, now it’s 500.

“We have to eat, and prices are going up. Thirty eggs used to me 1700 tomans, now they are 3,000. It seems sanctions will expand and people are worried.”

Mr Salamat’s views on the great issues of the day are down-to-earth. Like many bazaaris he is quicker to express admiration for Jewish business acumen than to get excited about the president questioning the historical records of the Jewish holocaust.

“There used to be many Jews in the bazaar – now there are only two of three, selling cloth,” he says. “Before the Revolution, they ran the [carpet] business here. Now, it’s still in their hands, but in a different way - they run it from New York and LA, Munich and Hamburg.”

It’s hard for Mr Salamat to believe that it all adds up to ‘progress’. “You know, the world has changed into a strange place, uglier than 50 years ago,” he says. “When you turned on the radio then, you heard about discoveries, science, and nature. Now it’s all about killing, in Iraq, Virginia and other places.”

He sighs, shrugs, and prepares to go home for the weekend.
