The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is kicking off the week with another day in the green so far this Monday. At the time of writing, the ASX 200 is up by a robust 0.48% at just over 7,520 points.
But let’s dip a little deeper into these gains and check out the ASX 200 shares topping the share market’s volume charts, according to investing.com.
The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Monday
Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR)
Battery metals company Liontown is our first share of the day. This Monday has seen a notable 15.41 million Liontown shares bought and sold on the markets thus far. There’s been no major news out from Liontown itself. However, as my Fool colleague Brooke covered earlier, this ASX 200 company has seen some impressive moves on the markets regardless. Liontown hit a new all-time high of $2.19 today. It’s currently up 9% at $2.12 a share. This big push upwards is almost certainly behind the elevated trading volumes we are seeing.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
ASX 200 lithium producer Pilbara is next up today. So far, a sizeable 18.22 Pilbara Minerals shares have been traded on the share market. Again, this doesn’t seem to be the result of anything the company has put out today. Rather a big share price move looks to be the culprit. The Pilbara share price is currently up a healthy 5.98% at $3.64 a share. No wonder we are seeing a boatload of Pilbara shares in new hands.
AVZ Minerals Ltd (ASX: AVZ)
Another ASX 200 lithium share in AVZ is our final company to take a look at this Monday. So far today, a hefty 29.76 million AVZ shares have swapped hands as it currently stands. To continue the trend we are seeing today, it again seems like AVZ is the beneficiary of yet another upward share price movement. In this case, the AVZ share price has gained a more muted 1.92% at $1.32 a share after rising as high as $1.36 earlier this morning.
