The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Thursday
Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN)
First up today is ASX 200 gold share Evolution. Evolution Mining has seen a sizable 16.43 million of its shares exchanged on the ASX so far this Thursday.
There's been no news out of Evolution today. So the likely cause of this trading volume is the pleasing share price gains that Evolution shares are enjoying. The gold miner is currently up by a healthy 3.83% at $2.44 after gold prices rose overnight.
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
Our next ASX 200 share today is the lithium producer Core Lithium. This Thursday has seen a notable 17.27 million Core shares swapped at present. With no news out from this company either, we can again assume that it is the Core Lithium share price that is responsible for these volumes.
Core Lithium has indeed had a bumpy day. The lithium share started the trading session deep in the red, but has steadily recovered to put it at $1.59 a share at present, up 1.73% for the session.
Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG)
Last but certainly not least today, we have ASX 200 energy utility share Origin Energy. Origin has had a hefty 39.89 million shares change owners thus far today. This is almost certainly the result of the seismic share price movement we have witnessed today.
At present, Origin shares are up a whopping 35.28% at $7.86 each. As we covered earlier, this comes after the company received a takeover offer at $9 a share from Brookfield Asset Management and MidOcean Energy. No wonder so many shares are flying around.
