The All-Share Index, the benchmark measure, rose by 10.99 points to 1,810.79 points from 1,799.80 points on Wednesday

There were four price changes, all positive.

Unilever was 50 cedis up at 6,750 cedis, Guinness Ghana Limited gained 200 cedis at 2,000 cedis while Home Finance Company and Mechanical Lloyd gained one cedi each at 1,402 and 315 cedis respectively.
