Ghana Stock Exchange Opens Week with 656% Surge in Trading Volume

Ghana Stock Exchange

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) commenced the week’s trading with remarkable vigor, recording one of the highest single-day surges in trading activity in recent memory.

The session closed with a striking 656% increase in trading volume and a 403% boost in turnover compared to the previous trading day. This performance underscores growing investor confidence in Ghana’s capital markets and reflects renewed interest across key equities.

At the close of the first weekday trading session, a total of 5,951,598 shares exchanged hands, translating to a market value of GHS 17,079,894.76. In comparison to the last session on Friday, June 27, this marks a six-fold improvement in volume and a four-fold rise in turnover.

Market analysts point to several contributing factors behind the spike in trading activity, including institutional interest in major stocks and a continued recovery in investor sentiment. The sharp increase signals that investors are positioning themselves to take advantage of the sustained rally in Ghanaian equities over the past year.

The surge was primarily driven by heavy trading in MTN Ghana, which recorded the highest volume of transactions for the day. MTN Ghana alone accounted for approximately 5.51 million shares, cementing its role as the bellwether of market liquidity on the GSE.

Other notable performers included Enterprise Group, which saw 204,613 shares traded, followed by Ecobank Transnational with 90,436 shares, and CalBank with 86,949 shares. The broad participation across sectors indicates diverse investor appetite and a renewed focus on both blue-chip and financial sector stocks.

Market Indices Hold Steady

Despite the exceptional trading activity, the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) remained unchanged, closing the session at 6,248.48 points. This steady performance reflects a delicate balance between gains in high-volume equities and minor losses in others.

On a broader time scale, the GSE-CI has maintained a 1-week loss of 0.03%, a 4-week gain of 1.6%, and an impressive year-to-date growth of 27.82%. These metrics highlight the resilience of the market even amid fluctuating trading sessions.

The GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) also held firm at 3,376.01 points, representing a 1-week gain of 0.84%, a 4-week gain of 4.94%, and a strong year-to-date appreciation of 41.8%. This consistent performance underscores the strength of Ghana’s financial sector stocks and continued investor optimism about their prospects.

NewGold ETF Emerges as the Sole Loser

While the overall market sentiment was positive, not all equities ended the day in the green. The NewGold ETF was the lone decliner, recording a 1.33% depreciation in its share price. Analysts suggest this dip was likely the result of profit-taking following previous gains.

The isolated loss did little to dampen enthusiasm across the market, as the broader rally more than offset the ETF’s modest decline.

Following the brisk trading, the market capitalization of the Ghana Stock Exchange remained unchanged at GHS 137.3 billion. This stability in market value, despite a surge in turnover and volume, is indicative of the market’s maturity and liquidity depth.

Market watchers note that sustained high volumes can gradually contribute to further increases in capitalization if investor demand persists in the weeks ahead.

The surge in trading volume is being seen as a reflection of renewed optimism about Ghana’s economic outlook and the relative resilience of listed companies. Several institutional investors have reportedly re-entered the market, drawn by compelling valuations and improving corporate earnings.

Commenting on the performance, a market analyst noted, “This level of activity, especially at the start of the week, is very encouraging. It suggests that investors are gradually returning with greater confidence, and we could see a sustained upward trend if economic indicators continue to improve.”

The Ghana Stock Exchange’s first weekday trading session of the week has set an upbeat tone for investors and market participants alike. With 656% growth in volume and 403% growth in turnover, the trading day underscored the market’s capacity to attract capital and drive liquidity.
