VOLUMES were thin on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Tuesday with many players absent for year-end holidays.
The modest value traded, only R327-million, and the fall in the benchmark all share index were evidence of the thin trading conditions.
Other major indices were also down, with the exception of the financial index and the gold index.
The all-share index lost 0.12%, the industrial index fell 0.22%.
However, the financial index advanced 0.37% and the all-gold index gained 0.40%.
