Trade activities in the secondary bond market picked up last week, reaching GH¢1.53 billion.
This was up from GH¢715 million in the previous week.
The February 2035 and February 2037 maturities dominated trading, accounting for 65% of total trade volumes, with yields to maturity (YTM) on the rise.
Overall, the 2027-2030 maturities represented 21% of the market turnover, with a YTM of 24%.
While maturities from 2031 to 2038 captured 79% of total trade concentration, YTM increased to 26%.
Analysts expect the yields to maturity of longer-dated bonds to remain elevated in the near term as investors seek higher returns amid a rising interest rate environment.
