After a week of active trading, the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) closed Thursday with a quiet session, as investors appeared to take a pause following earlier midweek excitement.
The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) held steady at 8,634.75 points, while the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) also remained unchanged at 4,500.14 points. Despite the flat movement, the market has recorded impressive gains in 2025, with the GSE-CI up 76.63% year-to-date and the GSE-FSI rising 89.02%, reflecting strong investor confidence in Ghanaian equities.
Thursday’s trading was lighter, with 408,041 shares exchanged valued at about GH¢1.36 million, following Tuesday’s blockbuster session when over 10.86 million shares worth GH¢29.4 million were traded. Market capitalization remained largely steady at GH¢167.8 billion, signaling stability in the broader market.
Among individual stocks, NewGold (GLD) recorded a slight gain, rising GH¢0.86 to GH¢449.86. Though only 115 units were traded, the gold-backed fund continues to attract attention as a safe option for investors seeking exposure to gold. Over the year, NewGold has traded between GH¢338.83 and GH¢508.31, maintaining its appeal as a stable investment choice.
Overall, Thursday’s session highlights a calm end to the week, with major indices steady and investors observing the market closely.
