GSE Soars with 755% Spike in Volume—Financial Stocks Shine Bright

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) kicked off the week with a remarkable display of investor confidence and market optimism, as trading activity surged dramatically across key sectors.

A massive 755% increase in trading volume coupled with impressive gains across major indices marked a bullish start to the week, reinforcing the GSE’s reputation as one of Africa’s best-performing stock markets in 2025.

At the close of the first weekday session, trading volume on the GSE spiked to an astonishing 2,622,541 shares, significantly higher than the 306,659 shares recorded on the preceding trading day. This represented a jaw-dropping 755% increase in volume, translating into a total market value of GHS 8,040,616.07—a 37% improvement in turnover.

Market watchers attributed the volume surge to renewed investor interest and confidence in listed companies, especially blue-chip stocks. MTN Ghana led the charge, contributing a lion’s share of the traded volume with 2.42 million shares. Other notable contributors included Ecobank Transnational (99,665 shares), GCB Bank (62,772 shares), and CalBank (27,587 shares).

Financial Stocks Take the Lead

The bullish sentiment was strongly reflected in the performance of financial equities. The GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) surged by 0.73% to close at 3,347.77 points. This represents a weekly gain of 1.83%, a four-week return of 5.43%, and an eye-catching year-to-date (YTD) gain of 40.62%.

Among the top gainers were GCB Bank, which saw its share price increase by 3.75%, and Standard Chartered Bank, with a 3.26% uptick. SIC Insurance Company also joined the winning streak with a 1.79% gain. The consistent rise in financial stocks underlines investor confidence in Ghana’s banking and insurance sectors, which have shown resilience amidst economic fluctuations.

Energy giant TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana stood out as the biggest gainer of the session, closing at GHS 27.50 per share—up by a full 10%. The company’s strong fundamentals, stable dividend payouts, and brand reputation continue to attract both institutional and retail investors.

TotalEnergies’ rally was pivotal to the positive momentum witnessed in the market and helped lift the broader indices alongside financial sector gains. The performance underscores the importance of sector diversification on the GSE, as energy and finance stocks continue to provide a solid foundation for growth.

Composite Index Reflects Market Strength

The benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) rose by 39.87 points, a 0.64% increase, to close at 6,250.15. While the index recorded a minor four-week loss of 1.63%, its 1-week gain of 0.36% and impressive YTD growth of 27.85% reinforce the market’s robust long-term performance.

The positive trend in the GSE-CI mirrors investor optimism fueled by improving macroeconomic indicators, corporate earnings, and relatively stable inflation and interest rates in recent months.

Zero Losers, All Winners

In a rare and notable occurrence, no equities posted losses during the session. Of the 15 listed equities that traded, five recorded price gains while the remaining maintained their previous prices. Such a development is a clear indication of broad-based investor confidence and a strong bullish sentiment prevailing across the market.

Market analysts see this as a signal that investors are repositioning their portfolios in anticipation of further gains, especially as second-quarter earnings season approaches.

The Ghana Stock Exchange now boasts a total market capitalization of GHS 137.2 billion. This figure reflects not just the performance of listed stocks, but also growing investor interest, improved regulatory oversight, and expanding participation from both domestic and foreign investors.

The continuous rise in market capitalization adds to the attractiveness of the GSE, which is gradually evolving into a key driver of Ghana’s economic development.

With no decliners and significant gains across energy and financial sectors, the outlook for the Ghana Stock Exchange remains optimistic. The record-breaking increase in trading volume and strong index performance could set the tone for an even stronger performance in the coming weeks.

Analysts believe that if macroeconomic conditions remain favorable and listed companies continue to deliver solid financials, the GSE may close the third quarter with one of its strongest performances in recent years.
