The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has climbed 5.5% higher over the past month, regaining some of the losses shed after the index tumbled over 9% in early March. Here are three ASX 200 shares that have helped drive the index higher over the past month, and they're all tipped to keep climbing.

Goodman Group (ASX: GMG)
Goodman shares are trading 2.7% higher at $28.32 at the time of writing on Tuesday afternoon. After tumbling over 19% between mid-February and late-March, the shares have recovered 10.8% of their value over the past two weeks. The shares are still 8.2% lower for the year to date, but they're 0.7% above this time last year.
Goodman shares faced headwinds amid concerns about Australia's interest rate direction, high borrowing costs, and overall investor uncertainty.
There is also broad weakness across the property sector, and the slump in investor confidence has flowed through to the company's latest earnings results.
But it doesn't look like the downturn is here to stay.
Brokers rate the ASX 200 shares as a strong buy and tip an average target price of $35.34 over the next 12 months. At the time of writing, that implies a potential 35.51% upside.
AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP)
AMP shares are up 0.36% at the time of writing on Tuesday, to $1.40 a piece. The latest uptick means the shares are now 14.4% higher over the past month and 27% higher than just one year ago.
AMP shares crashed over 26% off the back of a disappointing financial results announcement in February. Meanwhile, ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns that surging oil prices will push Australia's inflation data higher have weighed heavily on financial stocks like AMP over the past month.
But since bottoming close to a 52-week low in mid-March, they've finally started rebounding. AMP recently confirmed it will undertake an on-market buyback of up to $150 million of ordinary shares, and Blair Vernon has officially stepped into the CEO role. Sentiment could well follow suit.
Brokers have a strong buy rating on the ASX 200 shares and tip a potential 36.19% upside to $1.75 per share, at the time of writing.
Bellevue Gold Ltd (ASX: BGL)
Bellevue Gold shares are also down slightly today, by 0.75% to $1.72 per share. Many ASX gold stocks crashed in mid-March thanks to a sizable retreat in gold prices, and Bellevue wasn't immune.
After dropping to a four-month low in late March, the shares have climbed 37.7% higher at the time of writing. But the gold miner's shares are also up an enormous 91.3% from just one year ago.
Brokers seem to think they can keep climbing higher, too. They have a strong buy rating on the ASX 200 shares and tip a 35.3% upside to $2.07 per share over the next 12 months.
