BoG’s $1.15 Billion Forex Injection Sparks Cedi Rebound: A Vote of Confidence or Temporary Relief? Analyst Weighs In

Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah, Financial Market Expert and President of Women in Forex Ghana

After a brief pullback in the financial stocks segment, the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) looks set for a strong rebound this week, according to market expert and analyst, Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah, President of Women in Forex Ghana.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Vaultz News, Ms. Asantewah projected that the market is “gearing up for a return to bullish ways” as investor confidence remains high.

Last week, profit-taking activities pressured the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI), causing it to dip to 3,408.78 points. This represented a one-week loss of 0.57% and a four-week loss of 0.59%, though the index still holds an impressive year-to-date gain of 43.18%.

For Ms. Asantewah, the decline was far from a sign of weakness in the market’s fundamentals. She believes it was simply a period of consolidation after a strong run-up in prices.

“What we saw last week was a natural phase in any thriving market cycle. The pullback was not driven by weak fundamentals but by investors securing profits after impressive year-to-date gains. This week, I expect the financial index to recover and add at least 25 points, driven largely by fresh demand for bank stocks.”

Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah

She singled out CalBank, Societe Generale Ghana, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), and Access Bank Ghana as the likely front-runners in the rebound. According to her, these banks are benefiting from strong earnings outlooks, renewed investor interest, and improved liquidity flows in the market.

Composite Index Shows Remarkable Resilience

While the financial stocks index saw mild declines, the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) demonstrated outstanding strength last week. The composite index surged 5.6% to close at 7,386.41 points, extending its four-week gain to 14.97% and its impressive year-to-date rally to 51.1%.

Ms. Asantewah attributed this performance to the breadth of market leadership beyond the banking sector. She noted that gains in consumer goods, telecommunications, and energy-related stocks played a crucial role in keeping the composite index firmly in positive territory.

“The GSE-CI has been the anchor of the exchange’s performance. Even when the financial index stumbled, the composite index kept rising, driven by a variety of sectors. This shows that investors are spreading their portfolios and not relying solely on financial stocks for returns.”

Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah

She expressed confidence that the GSE-CI could surpass the 7,500-point mark by the end of the week, supported by the strong upward momentum from last week’s rally and continued inflows from institutional investors.

Market Drivers for the New Week

Looking ahead the new week, Ms. Asantewah pointed out several key factors that could influence market activity in the coming days. Earnings announcements from some listed companies are expected to be a major catalyst, especially if the results exceed market expectations. She believes that “stronger-than-expected performance in the banking and consumer sectors could ignite renewed buying interest”.

Another important driver, she mentioned is the increasing participation of foreign investors, who are attracted by the GSE’s robust year-to-date returns compared to regional peers.

“The improved macroeconomic climate, with a relatively stable cedi and easing inflation pressures, is also restoring confidence among both local and foreign market participants.”

Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah

According to Ms. Asantewah, the stability in the exchange rate reduces fears of currency losses for foreign investors, making Ghana’s equity market a more appealing option for portfolio diversification. She noted that these conditions create a supportive environment for sustained upward momentum in both indices.

Caution Amid Optimism

Despite her positive outlook, Ms. Asantewah urged investors to remain mindful of the inherent risks in the market. She emphasized that while the week ahead looks promising, short-term gains should not distract from the importance of a balanced and diversified investment approach.

“Yes, the week ahead looks promising, but the best strategy remains diversification. Investors should avoid concentrating too heavily in one sector, even if financial stocks are expected to outperform in the short term. Risk management is just as important as chasing returns.”

Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah

She also warned that sudden changes in economic policy or unexpected macroeconomic developments could impact market sentiment. Monitoring global market trends, domestic policy announcements, and geopolitical factors remains essential for informed decision-making.

A Week of Opportunity

Summing up her outlook, Ms. Asantewah expressed confidence that the Ghana Stock Exchange is entering a week of opportunity for investors who position themselves strategically. With financial stocks likely to rebound and the composite index building on its strong performance, she believes both local and foreign participants can benefit from the market’s momentum.

“The market is in a sweet spot right now — fundamentals are strong, sentiment is improving, and liquidity is picking up. If the momentum holds, both indices could set new short-term highs before the month ends.”

Ms. Gifty Annor-Sika Asantewah

As the new trading week begins, all eyes will be on whether the financial stocks index delivers on the expected recovery and whether the composite index can cross the symbolic 7,500-point threshold. For investors, the coming days may well present the perfect balance of growth potential and market stability, but as Ms. Asantewah reminded, the winners will be those who combine optimism with discipline.
