The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) closed Tuesday’s trading session on a bullish note, buoyed by a strong performance from telecommunications giant Scancom PLC (MTNGH), which contributed significantly to both trading volume and market value.
The benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) posted a gain of 21.33 points, rising from 6,434.63 on Monday to 6,455.96. This modest but notable movement signals renewed investor optimism, especially as the market continues its robust year-to-date performance, now up by 32.06%.
Meanwhile, the GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) remained flat at 3,162.31, holding its ground despite a relatively subdued session for financial stocks.
MTN Ghana Leads the Charge
MTN Ghana (MTNGH) emerged as the star of the session, recording the highest traded volume and value. The telecom stock saw over 12.1 million shares exchanged, representing nearly the entire market volume for the day, and raked in a total trade value of approximately GH¢40.2 million. MTNGH’s stock price inched up by GH¢0.02, closing at GH¢3.32, up from the previous close of GH¢3.30.
Market Capitalization Grows
The day’s rally pushed the total market capitalization to GH¢140.72 billion, up from GH¢140.46 billion on Monday. The 0.19% increase reflects growing investor confidence and signals a continuation of the GSE’s positive momentum in the second quarter of 2025.
Other Stocks in Action

Investor Sentiment
Tuesday’s surge in market activity, jumping from 519,039 shares on Monday to over 12.2 million shares, signals strong investor sentiment, likely driven by positive outlooks for telecoms and continued macroeconomic stability.
