The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Monday
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
First cab off the rank today is the ASX 200 lithium share Core Lithium. So far this Monday, a sizeable 16.31 million Core Lithium shares have been exchanged on the markets. There's been no new news out of the company itself today.
So perhaps today's gains are being caused by the movements in the company's share price itself. Core shares have bounced around quite a lot today. The company is presently 0.63% lower at $1.585 a share.
But we have seen lows of $1.55 and highs of $1.64 over just today's session. It's probably this volatility that has caused Core Lithium to be present on this ASX 200 list today.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
Next up is another ASX 200 lithium share in Pilbara Minerals. So far this Monday, a whopping 20.57 million Pilbara shares have been bought and sold.
This has probably been sparked by yet another new record high for the lithium producer today. At present, Pilbara shares are trading at $4.575 each, up a healthy 1.67%. But the company touched $4.62 a share earlier this afternoon, Pilbara Minerals' new high watermark.
AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP)
Finally, our most traded share this Monday is financial services provider AMP. This session has seen a hefty 20.93 million AMP shares find a new home. This could be a result of AMP's ongoing share buybacks, which are continuing on a day-to-day basis at present.
But it's likely that AMP's big share price move today is also eliciting high trading volumes. Currently, the AMP share price is going for $1.177, up a pleasing 4.16% so far today.
