The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) closed Thursday’s trading session on a bearish note, with the GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) declining by 0.82% to settle at 8,378.59 points.
In contrast, the Financial Stock Index (GSE-FSI) recorded a modest gain of 0.13%, closing at 4,084.15 points, buoyed by price appreciations in select banking equities.
