The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has shaken off last week’s bad mood so far this Monday, and is on track for a solid gain. At the time of writing, the ASX 200 is up 0.59% at 7,397 points thus far today.
But let’s dive deeper and check out the ASX 200 shares currently topping the ASX’s share volume charts, according to investing.com.
3 most active ASX 200 shares by volume on Monday
Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS)
ASX 200 telco Telstra is the first high volume ASX share for today. Telstra has seen a healthy 10.9 million of its shares find new owners so far this Monday. Despite this, there is not much in the way of news or announcements out of the telco so far, aside from the revelation that it is now one of the largest contributors of corporate tax in the country.
Saying that, the Telstra share price has had a bit of an interesting day. It’s currently flat at $4.06, but rose as high as $4.10 this morning after market open, a new 52-week high for the company. This is probably what is behind this elevated trading volume we are seeing.
Sydney Airport (ASX: SYD)
Sydney Airport is next up today. This ASX 200 infrastructure company has seen a hefty 15.68 million shares bought and sold so far this Monday. Again, there is not a lot going on with Sydney Airport today. Its shares are currently flat at $8.59 after a brief rise this morning.
However, this company has been experiencing elevated trading volumes for a while now, ever since the green light was announced for its pending acquisition by the Sydney Aviation Alliance. This might still be in play this Monday.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
ASX 200 lithium producer Pilbara is topping the ASX 200 thus far today in terms of trading volume. Pilbara has seen a sizeable 19.72 million of its shares traded on the share market at the time of writing. This is almost certainly the result of the pleasing share price jump we have seen Pilbara make today.
Pilbara shares are currently trading at $2.72 each, up a robust 4.42% today and touching an all-time high.
