* BHP sees “flattening” iron ore demand from China<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

* Market closed Wednesday for public holiday<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

JOHANNESBURG, March 20<\/span> (Reuters) – South African shares
\nwilted on Tuesday on renewed concerns about China’s growth
\noutlook with resource stocks including Anglo American
\nleading the wider market down.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The blue-chip Top-40 index fell 1.21 percent to
\n30,026.43. The broader All-share index ended down about
\n1 percent at 33,878.56.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the market’s second straight day in the red, taking
\nit further from record highs scaled earlier this year. The
\nTop-40 was seen as receiving technical support around the 30,000
\nmark.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The market will be closed on Wednesday for South Africa’s
\nHuman Rights Day holiday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

European stocks also fell amid concern about the scale of
\nChina’s growth slowdown, with Australian iron ore miners
\nsignaling demand growth was finally slowing in response to
\nBeijing’s moves to cool its economy.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

BHP Billiton , the world’s biggest miner,
\nsaid it was seeing signs of “flattening” iron ore demand from
\nChina, though for now it was pushing ahead with plans to expand
\nproduction further.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

BHP’s shares in Johannesburg fell over 3 percent to 238.49
\nwhile Anglo American’s local shares sank almost 4 percent to
\n306.00 rand.
