The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Monday
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
First up today is ASX 200 lithium stock Core Lithium. This materials share has had a notable 15.51 million of its shares trade hands on the markets today.
This volume seems to be in response to the drilling results the company released this morning. As my Fool colleague Bernd covered at the time, Core Lithium reported "exceptional" results at its Finniss lithium project in the Northern Territory.
Amid this news, the Core Lithium share price has gained a healthy 4.33% to $1.205 a share over today's session.

Next up today we have ASX 200 buy now, pay later (BNPL) share Zip Co. So far this Monday, a hefty 22.06 million Zip shares have bounced around the ASX. There's been no new news out of Zip today.
Thus, this volume is the probable consequence of the nasty share price fall Zip is currently enduring. In contrast to the ASX 200, Zip shares are presently down a depressing 6.17% at $1.065 a share.
Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE)
Our third and final share of the day is another ASX 200 lithium stock in Lake Resources. So far this Monday, a sizeable 31.65 million Lake shares have traded owners.
This is almost certainly the result of the incredible volatility we have seen with this company during today's session.
As we looked into earlier, Lake shares were up an eye-catching 16% at one point today, despite no news out from the company. However, these gains have cooled as the day has gone on, and Lake Resources is now up 2.47% at 83 cents a share.
