The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) seems to be proving how it doesn’t really like Mondays. Last week was a rather disappointing one for ASX 200 shares, and today, it doesn’t look like that sentiment is going away.
At the time of writing, the ASX 200 has lost a depressing 0.5%, which leaves the index at just under 7,180 points.
But rather than dwelling on all of that, letâs instead have a look at the ASX 200 shares that are currently topping the share marketâs trading volume charts, according to investing.com.
The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Monday
Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG)
First up today is ASX 200 energy utility share Origin. This Monday has seen a sizeable 13.75 million Origin shares trade hands as it currently stands. This is almost certainly a result of the torrid share price drop Origin has endured so far today.
At present, the company’s shares are down by a nasty 7.56% to $7.21 each. This looks like a consequence of the news that the federal government is planning on imposing a price cap on coal and gas.
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
Next up we have the ASX 200 lithium giant Pilbara Minerals. So far today, a hefty 15.98 million Pilbara shares have found a new owner. There’s been no new news out of Pilbara this week so far. So this volume could be in response to the share price moves that Pilbara is experiencing.
This company is defying the broader market today and has surged 2.35% higher to $4.58 a share. That’s despite Pilbara opening in the red this morning.
Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)
Third and finally this Monday, we have another ASX 200 lithium share in Core Lithium. This session has had a notable 19.91 million Core shares find their way across the ASX boards. There hasn’t been any fresh news out of Core either. But that hasn’t stopped this company from having a fairly wild day of trading.
Core shares are presently up by 0.6% to $1.18 each. But the company has been bouncing around dramatically all day, going as low as $1.14 and as high as $1.19 a share. All this volatility has probably prompted the high volumes on display here.
