The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) managed to close higher on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, even as trading activity slowed sharply from the previous day’s strong showing.
Only 401,501 shares worth GH¢1.23 million exchanged hands, a steep drop from Monday’s bustling session when more than 9.4 million shares valued at GH¢32.48 million were traded.
Yet, despite the quieter market floor, the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE‑CI) still gained 25.58 points to close at 6,670.27, while the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE‑FSI) rose by 10.73 points to end the day at 3,424.00. This slight uptick nudged the market’s total capitalization up to GH¢142.15 billion.
Much of the day’s movement was driven by a handful of active counters. TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana PLC led the way, adding GH¢1.99 to close at GH¢31.93 on a modest volume of 1,750 shares. GCB Bank PLC also provided a lift, inching up 3 pesewas to GH¢9.52 as 42,871 shares changed hands, generating over GH¢408,000 in value.
The upward mood extended to Republic Bank (Ghana) PLC, which added 9 pesewas to finish at GH¢1.02, and Societe Generale Ghana PLC, which crept up 2 pesewas to close at GH¢2.00.
Not all stocks joined the rise. SIC Insurance Company PLC eased 2 pesewas to GH¢1.10, while Intravenous Infusions PLC slipped by 1 pesewa to end at GH¢0.04.
Despite the dip in activity, the broader market’s performance remains striking. Since the start of the year, the GSE‑CI has climbed 36.45%, while the GSE‑FSI has surged 43.82%, reflecting steady investor confidence.
