Manufacturing production contracted 1.1% in July from a downwardly revised 3.6% in June

The JSE closed in negative territory on Tuesday with miners leading losses, while global markets were mixed as focus shifts to stimulus hopes amid growing fears of a global economic slowdown.

Gold was down 0.21% to $1,495.65/oz and platinum 0.74% to $937.29. Brent crude added 1.48% to $63.61 a barrel.
