The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) opened the week on a mixed note on Monday, July 28, 2025, as the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) slipped by 28.42 points to close at 6,644.69 points.
This marks a slight pullback from last Friday’s close of 6,673.11 points, though the index has still delivered a strong 35.92 percent gain since the start of the year. In contrast, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) managed to edge higher by 0.98 points to finish the session at 3,413.27 points, maintaining a year-to-date growth of 43.37 percent.
Trading activity was fairly strong, with more than 9.4 million shares changing hands at a total market value of GH₵32.48 million. Market capitalization stood at GH₵141.83 billion by the close of the day, reflecting the slight pressure from declines in a few heavyweight counters.
Price movements were mixed across the board, with gains in several banking and consumer names offset by losses in a few others. Fan Milk PLC recorded the day’s biggest price gain, climbing seven pesewas to end trading at GH₵4.32.
GCB Bank PLC also added two pesewas to close at GH₵9.49, while Benso Oil Palm Plantation PLC, Clydestone (Ghana) PLC and Societe Generale Ghana PLC each inched up by one pesewa to settle at GH₵34.26, GH₵0.10 and GH₵1.98 respectively.
The downward pressure on the market, however, came largely from TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana PLC, which shed GH₵3.31 to close at GH₵29.94, marking the steepest fall of the session.
Access Bank Ghana PLC and SIC Insurance Company PLC also slipped by one pesewa each, closing at GH₵16.38 and GH₵1.12 respectively. TotalEnergies was the most actively traded stock by value, accounting for more than GH₵2.47 million worth of transactions.
Despite the slight dip in the composite index, investor sentiment remains broadly positive.
