The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) tumbled on Monday in line with global markets.

The JSE's all-share index was off 0.22 percent to 51,497.16 points at close of the session.

Iron-ore stocks were notable gainers as the underlying price regained 2 percent to 92.33 U.S. dollars a tonne, but gold miners sold off materially despite a relatively stable gold price and the rand.

Banks were slightly weaker as financial stocks lost 0.66 percent and industrials lost 0.46 percent.
