After the horrible day the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) had yesterday, investors will be pleased with the health gains we've seen today. At the time of writing, the ASX 200 has put on a decisive 1.62% to back over 6,830 points.
So let's dive deeper into these solid gains and take a look at the ASX 200 shares currently at the top of the share market's trading volume charts, according to investing.com.
The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Thursday
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
ASX 200 lithium share Core Lithium is our first company to examine this Thursday. So far during today's trading session, a decent 22.43 million Core Lithium shares have changed owners. We haven't had any new announcements from the company today.
However, that hasn't stopped it from leaping 4.26% today to $1.59 a share at the time of writing. This push higher probably explains the elevated volumes we are seeing.
As my Fool colleague Brooke covered this afternoon, most ASX lithium shares are in demand today following some love from ASX brokers, as well as a series of positive developments for the sector.
Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE)
Another ASX 200 lithium stock is next up in Lake Resources. This Thursday has seen a chunky 24.86 million Lake shares swim across the ASX so far today.
This looks like a very similar situation to Core Lithium here. The Lake Resources share price has done one better though and is currently up an eye-catching 9.5% at $1.325 a share. With a gain of this size, it's perhaps no wonder so many Lake shares are flying around.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
Well, surprise, surprise, our most traded ASX 200 share today is yet another lithium producer in Pilbara Minerals. Pilbara has seen a whopping 33.82 million of its shares swapped on the ASX today. Again, we have no new news to speak of.
But Pilbara shares are also enjoying the sunshine that investors are shining in its sector today. In Pilbara's case, it's currently trading for $4.225, a 6.96% gain. Indeed, Pilbara hit a new all-time high of $4.24 a share earlier in today's session, which is probably contributing to the volumes we are seeing as well.
