South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)
First up today is diversified mining company South32. This ASX 200 miner has had a notable 12.38 million shares change hands on the markets this Tuesday. There’s been no fresh news from South32 today. Saying that, the miner did release a well-received quarterly update yesterday.
It seems sentiment is continuing to coalesce around South32 today. The company is currently up a pleasing 4.35% at $3.72 a share. This is probably the reason for the higher trading volumes we are seeing.

Another mining company is next in lithium producer Pilbara Minerals. This ASX 200 lithium stock has had a sizeable 14.83 million of its shares bought and sold thus far. There’s been no news out of Pilbara, either today or this week. So, this elevated volume is probably a consequence of the Pilbara share price rise.
