GSE Index Soars By Over 50 Points

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) which is the principal stock exchange of the country has been in the survival mode for some days now but its index has managed to stage a comeback by gaining more than 50 points by the end of midweek’s trading session.

The GSE-CI- a market capitalization weighted index comprising all listed ordinary shares with the exception of those of listed companies that have shares listed on other markets, soared 57.38 points to close at 2,411.40 points, representing a 2.44 percent increment on the previous trading session. Unfortunately, the gain was not enough to lift the index on week-on-week and month-on-month basis. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s performance led to a 1-week loss of 0.82 percent, a 4-week loss of 1.33 percent, and an overall year-to-date loss of 1.33 percent. The calculation of the index is based on the volume-weighted average closing price of the constituent stocks.

The GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) on the other hand maintained its value at 2,036.05 points, making it a 1-week loss of 0.33 percent, a 4-week loss of 0.81 percent, and a year-to-date loss of 0.81 percent.
