The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) opened the week with a modest decline following Monday’s public holiday.
The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) fell 375 points to close at 15,316.66, while the Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) dropped 437 points to 9,407.32. The movement marks a brief pullback after a strong start to 2026, during which the Composite Index rose 74.6 percent and the Financial Index surged 102.4 percent.
Trading on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, saw 1.75 million shares change hands, valued at GH¢ 8.1 million, while total market capitalization remained high at GH¢ 284.8 billion, reflecting the overall strength of the market despite the short-term dip.
Several stocks recorded losses during the session. Ecobank Ghana PLC led the declines, falling 5.38 cedis to 50.52 cedis. Fan Milk PLC decreased 1.53 cedis to 13.79 cedis, and Societe Generale Ghana PLC dropped 0.87 cedis to 7.86 cedis.
Ecobank Transnational Inc. went down 0.23 cedis to 2.22 cedis, while SIC Insurance PLC lost 0.45 cedis to close at 4.09 cedis. Scancom PLC dipped 0.03 cedis to 6.50 cedis, Enterprise Group PLC slipped 0.02 cedis to 12.11 cedis, and Cal Bank PLC also decreased by 0.02 cedis to 0.75 cedis.
The modest decline came as investors returned from the holiday and adjusted their positions after weeks of strong gains. Financial stocks, which had driven much of the early-year rally, fell more sharply than the broader market.
Despite this small setback, the GSE continues to show strong year-to-date growth, with both the Composite and Financial indices remaining far above where they started the year.
