Poor run of GSE continues as main market index ends flat again

The poor run of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) continued on Wednesday as the




main market gauge, the All-Share Index, ended flat again.




The GSE All-Share Index, which ended flat on two of the three trading sessions




last week, inched up on Friday but ended unchanged again on Monday and




Wednesday.




Enterprise Insurance Company (EIC) was the only gainer, making four cedis at




3,010 cedis, but that was not enough to make any impression on the index, which




closed at 958.54 points.




Shares traded went up about eight times from 10,600 to 88,800 and market




capitalisation was also up at 3,909.08 billion cedis from 3,909.06 billion




cedis. Change for the year remained at 11.72 per cent.
