GSE Experiences Downturn in Trading Activity

Ghana stocks were adrift on Thursday, December 2, 2021 with Cal Bank posting losses at the end of an uninspired trading session, as total transactions on the local bourse declined appreciably.

Cal Bank stocks experienced a Black Wednesday of its own, suffering its worst daily loss of 2.3 percent in almost three months.

In the midst of the forgoing, experts attributed the latest bearish performance of the GSE to the global concerns over the new coronavirus variant from Southern Africa, while other analysts suggested buyback pressure as a factor.
