The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) remained largely stable yesterday, Thursday September 11, as investors took a cautious approach. The main market index, the GSE Composite, closed at 7,196.58 points, almost unchanged from Wednesday, while the Financial Stocks Index stayed flat at 3,477.05 points.
Trading activity was low, with just over 400,000 shares changing hands for a total value of GH¢517,572. Among notable companies, ACCESS Bank Ghana PLC recorded a slight decline of one pesewa, closing at GH¢16.35, while AngloGold Ashanti Depositary Shares rose by the same small margin, finishing at GH¢0.42.
Looking at the week as a whole, trading began actively on Monday, with over 4.4 million shares traded for more than GH¢15.7 million, but activity slowed gradually through the week. Wednesday and Thursday saw much smaller volumes, reflecting a wait-and-see approach among investors.
Despite the slowdown in daily trading, the market has continued its strong performance year-to-date, with gains of around 47% for the GSE Composite and 46% for the Financial Stocks Index. This shows that overall, the market remains healthy, and those who invested earlier this year are seeing their money grow steadily.
