Here are the 3 most heavily traded ASX 200 shares on Monday

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is off to a shocking start to the trading week so far this Monday. At the time of writing, the ASX 200 has lost a depressing 1.92% at just under 6,970 points. Ouch.

But rather than letting that make a Monday even worse, let’s instead delve a little deeper into this market pain and take a look at the ASX 200 shares currently topping the market’s trading volume charts, according to investing.com.

The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Monday

South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)

First up today we have mining giant South32. This ASX 200 resources share has had a notable 13.43 million shares trade hands on the markets thus far. In this case, it seems a nasty share price fall is behind this volume. There’s been no major news out of the company today.

But that has not stopped South32 from getting caught up in the market’s selloff, with the miner currently down a painful 3.19% at $4.095 a share.

Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS)

Next up today is ASX 200 telco Telstra. A hefty 13.64 million Telstra shares have found a new caller as it currently stands this Monday. There has been nothing new out of Telstra during this ASX session.

So these falls are probably the result of the tumble Telstra shares have been enduring during this session. The telco is currently nursing a loss of 0.99% at $3.99 a share.

Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)

ASX 200 lithium producer Pilbara Minerals is our final share to check out today. In PIlbara’s case, a sizeable 24.92 million shares have been bought and sold on the share markets this Monday.

Again, with no news out of Pilbara, we can probably thank the falls in the company’s shares themselves. In Pilbara’s case, this lithium stock has lost a chunky 2.11% to $3.475 a share.
