The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has witnessed a remarkable surge in trading activity, with total shares traded soaring from 2,059,378 on Tuesday February 25, 2025 to 11,607,407 on Wednesday February 26, 2025 representing a staggering 463.64% increase.
This sharp rise comes after a steady increase in trading volume since the start of the week, following a dramatic slump last Friday when only 328,280 shares were traded.
Monday saw a recovery, with trading volume climbing to 1,036,793 shares, marking a 215.83% increase from Friday’s figure. The momentum continued into Tuesday as activity nearly doubled to 2,059,378 shares, reflecting a 98.63% jump. By Wednesday, the market experienced an extraordinary leap as trading volume reached 11,607,407 shares.
Despite this massive spike in investor activity, stock prices remained unchanged across the board. The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) held steady at 5,622.92 points, while market capitalization remained at GH¢127.4 billion.
The surge in trading was largely driven by MTN Ghana, which accounted for over 11.48 million shares traded. Other notable contributors included Ecobank Transnational Incorporated, GCB Bank, TotalEnergies Marketing Ghana, and RBGH, albeit at significantly lower volumes.
The consistent increase in trading volume suggests a renewed wave of investor confidence, possibly fueled by institutional repositioning and strategic bulk trades.
