The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Wednesday

Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)

ASX 200 lithium stock Core Lithium is first up today. So far, a hefty 18.95 million Core Lithium shares have been traded on the share market this Wednesday. There's been no major news out of the company at this point.

But Core Lithium seems to be extending its recent run. The company is up a healthy 2.14% today at $1.43 a share. This puts its gains over the past five trading days alone at an impressive 19.7%. It's this rise that has probably prompted the high volumes we are seeing.

Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE)

Another ASX 200 lithium stock is next up with Lake Resources. So far today, a sizeable 38.87 million Lake shares have found a new home. We have a very similar situation playing out here it seems. Like Core Lithium, Lake Resources has had a run to remember in recent days.

It's up a pleasing 4.44% at $1.30 this Wednesday, despite no fresh news or announcements out. Lake Resources shares have now put on an extraordinary 42.3% or so over the past five trading days. So it's perhaps no wonder so many shares are flying around.

Imugene Limited (ASX: IMU)

Breaking the lithium pattern, our third and final ASX 200 share today is biotech company Imugene. This Wednesday has had a whopping 54.14 million Imugene shares swap hands as it currently stands.

This one isn't too hard to figure out. Imugene shares are up a solid 10% today following the release of some clinical trial updates that we covered earlier.
