Sell-Off Pressure Rattles Bourse

Relentless sell-off pressure hit the Tehran stock market on Sunday as retail investors struggled to get their money back while institutional buyers continued to boost demand. 
Despite the negative climate overwhelming the trading floor, the main index of Tehran Stock Exchange, TEDPIX, gained 5,847 points to close 0.36% higher. 
TEDPIX climbed by 22,000 points in early trading but pared most of the gains later as sell-side pressure kept mounting.
