GSE Ends Session Marginally Higher on Gains in Banking Stocks
Trading on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) closed on a mildly positive note, with the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) edging up by 0.04% to 8,173.66 points.
The Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) also advanced by 0.10% to 4,185.49 points, reflecting modest gains in key financial counters.
Market sentiment was mixed, as advances in ACCESS Bank (up GH¢0.01 to GH¢16.01) and GCB Bank (up GH¢0.18 to GH¢18.00) outweighed a slight decline in CAL Bank, which lost GH¢0.01 to close at GH¢0.33 amid ongoing investor reaction to its rights issue.
Trading activity remained concentrated in MTN Ghana, which led the session with 197,018 shares traded, valued at approximately GH¢788,072.00.
Overall, the market maintained a stable tone, supported by renewed interest in select banking stocks despite mixed performance across other counters.
