The session reflected a market still driven by selective trading in liquid counters, with MTN Ghana maintaining its position as one of the most active equities on the exchange. Banking stocks also remained central to turnover, particularly GCB Bank and Cal Bank, though both closed weaker.
The trading pattern suggests investors are still positioning cautiously, favouring a small number of counters with stronger liquidity while price discovery remains limited across several listed equities.
