Market records another drab trading

Share prices of three equities rallied at Monday's trading to push the All-Share Index up by 2.16 points in a dull market.

Although the market index rose from 1,308.51 points to 1,310.67 points to open the week trading, traded shares continued their downward slide. Total shares traded dropped from 55,700 shares last Friday to as low as 25,300 on Monday. Guinness Ghana Limited (GGL) sold the highest shares of 20,200.

The change in the year to date was at 37.11 per cent. Market capitalisation rose from 4,857.18 billion cedis on Friday to 4,861.38 billion cedis.

All the three price changes were positive. Fanmilk Limited gained the highest of 24 cedis at 1,651 cedis. Unilever and Ghana Commercial Bank gained 17 cedis and 14 cedis to close at 4,260 and 3,370 cedis respectively.
