Capital outflow by retail investors amounted to 7 trillion rials ($21.3m) on Wednesday, the highest daily outflow since the beginning of the year, Eghtesadnews reported.  
Capital outflow has raised alarm about the liquidity crunch in the share market due to the increasing aversion of retail traders to put money in the share market.
