GSE Trading Volume Crashes 90% in a Quiet Session

It was a bloody start to the trading week on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), as investor sentiment turned sour and market bears took control.

The session ended with a dismal performance across the board, with no listed equity posting gains. Three major stocks closed in the red, led by telecommunications giant MTN Ghana, which took the biggest hit in share value.

In total, 18 equities participated in Monday’s trading session. Unfortunately, the day offered no bright spots, as all the action unfolded in a downward spiral. MTN Ghana recorded a 2.28% dip in its share price, emerging as the biggest loser of the day. This sharp decline came despite MTN posting the highest trade volume for the session, with 193,475 shares exchanging hands.

CalBank followed suit with a 1.43% drop, continuing its struggle in recent weeks as investor appetite for financial stocks appeared to wane. NewGold ETF also slipped, posting a 0.62% loss by close of market.

Other actively traded stocks included Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), which saw 52,906 shares traded, and Intravenous Infusions, with a volume of 19,512 shares. CalBank, aside from its price drop, recorded a volume of 31,595 shares traded, signaling some level of investor activity but lacking the positive sentiment to lift its price.

Composite Index Plunges as Market Momentum Falters

The broader market felt the sting of these losses. The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI), the main benchmark that tracks the overall performance of the market, shed 75.53 points, translating to a 1.24% drop. It closed at 6,025.40 points, reflecting a one-week loss of 1.22% and a four-week loss of 0.33%. Despite Monday’s setback, the index still holds a year-to-date gain of 23.26%, underlining the market’s earlier bullish momentum.

However, the performance of the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) was also in the red. The index slipped by 0.04% to settle at 3,061.43 points. This movement signified a one-week decline of 0.06%. In contrast, the financial index still maintains a four-week gain of 5.53% and a strong year-to-date appreciation of 28.59%.

This suggests that while the short-term outlook is volatile, financial stocks have played a critical role in GSE’s overall growth this year.

Market Capitalization and Turnover Take a Hit

The carnage on the trading floor extended to market capitalization, which saw a drop to GHS 134.7 billion. Market capitalization is often a key indicator of investor confidence and overall economic outlook, and a dip at this level is likely to raise concerns about near-term market performance.

Further compounding the market’s woes was a significant slump in trading turnover and volume. By the close of the session, a total of 313,461 shares had been traded, representing a market value of GHS 895,020.08. This marked a staggering 72% drop in trade volume and a dramatic 92% decline in turnover compared to the previous trading day on Friday, April 11.

Analysts point to a mix of profit-taking, cautious investor behavior, and limited institutional activity as key factors behind Monday’s market downturn. “We’ve seen some impressive year-to-date performances across several stocks, so this kind of correction is not surprising. However, the absence of any gainers is concerning and reflects a widespread lack of buying pressure,” noted one market analyst.

The absence of positive movement in any equity signals a cautious period ahead for investors. With key earnings season tapering off and macroeconomic uncertainties, including interest rate concerns and inflationary pressures, still looming large, many investors are likely to adopt a wait-and-see approach in the coming sessions.

As the week unfolds, all eyes will be on whether market bulls will stage a comeback or whether bears will continue to dominate. A reversal in sentiment will likely depend on corporate news, investor outlook on key sectors like finance and telecommunications, and broader economic signals.
