GSE Bull Run: Market Capitalization Hits GHS 140 Billion

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) closed Thursday’s penultimate trading day on a firm note, buoyed by gains from NewGold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and GCB Bank.

Out of 20 listed equities that participated in trading, two stocks advanced while none recorded losses, reflecting renewed investor confidence ahead of the month’s final session.

The two gainers were NewGold ETF, which appreciated by 1.82%, and GCB Bank, which added 0.5% to its share price. Their resilience helped steady the market, preventing what could have been a lackluster trading day, especially as overall volumes and turnover recorded notable declines compared to the previous session.

In terms of market activity, a total of 283,272 shares valued at approximately GHS 1,466,309.02 exchanged hands. This represented a 31% decline in traded volume and a 27% decline in turnover compared to Wednesday’s trading session.

SIC Insurance Company led the volume chart with 130,029 shares, cementing its dominance in market participation. It was followed by MTN Ghana with 48,996 shares, Ecobank Transnational with 44,732 shares, and CalBank with 33,091 shares. Despite their high trading volumes, these stocks closed the session flat, contributing to the subdued nature of the day’s trading.

Index Performance

The performance of the GSE’s market indices revealed a relatively stable outlook. The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) gained 1.06 points, equivalent to 0.01%, to close at 7,340.08 points. This modest increase translated into a one-week gain of 0.05%, a four-week gain of 4.97%, and an impressive year-to-date growth of 50.15%.

Meanwhile, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) also recorded a slight uptick, rising by 0.04% to reach 3,411.96 points. On a broader scale, the index posted a one-week gain of 0.01%, though it reflected a four-week decline of 0.44%. Year-to-date, however, financial stocks still maintained robust growth, advancing 43.31%.

The total market capitalization of the GSE stood at GHS 149.7 billion at the close of Thursday’s session. This steady capitalization reflects growing investor sentiment in Ghana’s equity market, particularly in blue-chip and defensive stocks such as GCB Bank and NewGold ETF, which continue to attract investor interest due to their stability.

Despite the decline in trading volumes, the market’s positive close demonstrates that investor confidence remains intact. Analysts suggest that the resilience of these key stocks has been instrumental in maintaining the GSE’s bullish momentum throughout 2025, with year-to-date returns already exceeding 50%.

Key Drivers of the Market

The standout performance of NewGold ETF was critical in driving the market’s gains. Its 1.82% rise reflects renewed demand for gold-backed investments amid global economic uncertainties, as investors continue to hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.

Similarly, GCB Bank’s 0.5% increase highlighted the strength of the financial sector, reinforcing the perception of Ghana’s banking sector as a stable and profitable investment avenue. The bank’s strong fundamentals and consistent dividend policy have positioned it as a preferred stock for both retail and institutional investors.

With only one trading day left in the month, expectations are high for the GSE to close on a strong note. Market watchers predict that the resilience of defensive stocks like NewGold ETF and GCB Bank could continue to anchor the market, even in the face of declining trading volumes.

If this trend holds, the GSE is poised to maintain its remarkable year-to-date performance, cementing its reputation as one of Africa’s best-performing stock markets in 2025.
