Ghana’s stock market closed higher on Tuesday, with both main indices rising even as trading volume thinned, official Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) data showed.

The GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) gained 28.05 points, or about 0.19 percent, to settle at 14,430.05. The GSE Financial Stocks Index (GSE-FSI) added 27.46 points, roughly 0.35 percent, to close at 7,872.22.

Market capitalisation climbed to about 264.10 billion cedis, up from 263.40 billion a day earlier.

Activity, however, eased sharply. Investors traded 3.08 million shares worth some 29.05 million cedis, down from 5.06 million shares valued at 31.78 million cedis on Monday, a fall of roughly 39 percent in volume.

The advance extends a powerful run for Ghanaian equities. So far in 2026 the Composite Index is up 64.53 percent and the Financial Stocks Index 69.40 percent, keeping the bourse among Africa’s best performing equity markets this year.

The market still sits below its peak. The Composite Index crossed 15,000 points for the first time on 10 March, closing at a record 15,185.49, before drifting lower in the weeks since.
