It's been a rather interesting Tuesday for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) so far this session. The ASX 200 had a strong start this morning but soon fell back into red territory just before midday.
However, investors seem to have gotten cold feet about their cold feet, and have now sent the index back up. At the time of writing, the index is comfortably in the green having recorded a gain of 0.41% at present to just under 7,490 points.
But time now to dive deeper into these gyrations. So let's check out the shares currently at the top of the ASX 200's share trading volume charts, according to investing.com.
The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Tuesday
Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR)
Our first horse out the gate today is the ASX 200 lithium stock Liontown. This session has had a notable 15.05 million Liontown shares exchanged on the ASX at this point of the day. We haven't had any fresh news out of the company so far this week.
So this volume probably comes down to the movements of the Liontown share price itself. The lithium stock has had a very fresh day indeed. It's currently up a healthy 3.74% at $1.52 a share. This lift puts Liontown up more than 10% so far this week.
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
Core lithium is next up this Tuesday. A fellow ASX 200 lithium share to Liontown, Core Lithium has watched as a decent 16.76 million of its shares have flown around the ASX boards so far today. There's been no new news out of this company either.
So we can probably lay the blame for the high volumes we see at Core's volatile trading today. Core Lithium shares are also in the green, albeit not quite as enthusiastically as Liontown's. The ASX 200 lithium share has gained 0.9% at present to $1.12 a share.
But the company has traded as high as $1.16 and as low as $1.12 today in what has been a bouncy day of trading.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
Last but certainly not least in terms of trading volumes, we have yet another ASX 200 lithium stock in Pilbara Minerals. This Tuesday has seen a chunky 20.5 million Pilbara shares whiz across the share market as it currently stands.
Once again, investors have been treated to no news whatsoever out of Pilbara this week. So this volume could be a consequence of some love from ASX brokers. As we covered this morning, Morgans has just come out with a bullish rating on Pilbara, predicting even more upside for investors.
Perhaps this is why Pilbara shares have shot up 4.45% today so far to $5.04 each. It's probably a combination of these factors that is driving the massive volumes we are seeing.
