Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) however opened the session with a stock price of GHc 0.06 while Societe Generale Ghana (SOGEGH) also opened the market with a stock price of GHc0.93. MTN GH and GOIL on the other hand, opened the trading session with the stock price of GHc 1.20 and GHc 1.55 respectively.

Furthermore, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated recorded the highest volume of shares traded. At the end of market activity, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated accounted for 353,483 volume of shares traded. This was followed by Societe Generale Ghana which also accounted for 7,882 volume of shares traded.  In addition, MTN Ghana and Ghana Oil Company followed in that order with total volume of shares traded totalling 6,040 shares and 3,417 shares respectively.

Moreover, regarding the performance of GSE market indices, the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) did not see any change, closing at the same mark as it opened at 2,650.91, representing a 1-week gain of 0.27%, a 4-week loss of 2.22%.
