The secondary market activity strengthened over the week, with aggregate turnover rising by 43.77% week-on-week to GH¢2.98 billion.
Trading remained skewed toward the belly of the curve, with the 2031–2034 maturities accounting for 40.5% of total volumes at a weighted-average yield of 12.43%.
The 2027–2030 segment captured a further 36.7% of traded volumes at a weighted-average yield of 11.99%.
In contrast, activity at the long end was relatively subdued, with the 2035–2038 tenors contributing 22.8% of total turnover at a weighted average yield of 12.81%.
“We expect secondary market activity to remain soft in the near term despite rising liquidity”, said Databank Research.
