But let’s now dig deeper into these gains and check out the ASX 200 shares that are currently at the top of the share market’s trading volume charts, according to investing.com.
The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Thursday
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
Our first ASX 200 share today comes as no surprise. Lithium stock Core Lithium has had a notable 21.81 million of its shares trade on the share market today. As my Fool colleague Brooke covered earlier, Core Lithium shares continue to rocket, despite no obvious catalyst from the company itself.
Core shares are up another 3.5% so far this Thursday, putting its gains over the past week at almost 25%. It’s this move higher that has probably prompted this trading volume we see.
AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP)
Next up is ASX 200 financial services company AMP. We’ve seen a sizeable 30.9 million AMP shares change hands as it currently stands. This is almost certainly a consequence of the company’s big announcement this morning.
As we covered at the time, AMP announced its half-year earnings today. This included a $1.1 billion capital return program for shareholders. But investors don’t seem impressed, with the AMP share price presently down around 0.9%.
Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE)
Our third and final ASX 200 share today is another lithium stock in Lake Resources. This Thursday has seen a whopping 57.67 million Lake shares bought and sold so far. And again, we have a similar situation to Core Lithium.
Lake shares are blazing higher today, at one stage up 19% but currently up 12.9% on… you guessed it, no new news whatsoever. But it’s very likely that these elevated volumes are a result of this staggering share price appreciation.
