Trading of Government of Ghana papers in the local bond market declined by 24.62% week-on-week.
However, the total weekly volume traded remained above ¢1.0 billion.
Investors’ appetite improved towards medium-term maturities, as the 2031-2034 papers registered 77.88% of the market turnover.
Particularly, the February 2031 (coupon: 8.95%) bond dominated market activity, with 66% of the total weekly volume traded.
The weighted average yield at the belly of the Local Currency Yield curve advanced 119 basis points to 15.2%.
Analysts perceive trading activity could be sluggish this week as investors’ slowdown in the early sessions, awaiting inflation data to gauge the tone of the economy.
