3 most active ASX 200 shares by volume this Tuesday
Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)
Pilbara Minerals is once again making the ASX 200 volume charts today. This ASX 200 lithium company has seen a whopping 14.5 million of its shares traded on the share market thus far. This may be the consequence of Pilbara's pleasing gains we have seen today. This company is up a healthy 1.85% at $2.75 a share after hitting a new all-time high of $2.80 earlier this morning. That's evidently enough to put a company on this list.
Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS)
Telstra is our next cab off the rank today. This ASX 200 telco has had a sizeable 14.54 million of its shares swap hands so far this Tuesday. With no major news out of the company, we can probably put this volume down to the movements of the Telstra share price itself.
Telstra shares are currently up a healthy 1.48% so far today to $4.11 a share. What's more, the telco hit a new 52-week high of $4.12 earlier today. This is probably what's behind this elevated trading volume we are witnessing with Telstra shares.
Sydney Airport (ASX: SYD)
Sydney Airport is our final share to check out this Tuesday. This ASX 200 institution has seen a notable 14.95 million shares bought and sold so far today. There's not much to report on with Sydney Airport though. There has been no news out of the company, and its shares are trading flat at $8.56 so far.
However, Sydney Airport has been topping out this list periodically ever since it was announced that its pending takeover gained approval from regulators. We might be seeing the impacts of this continuing today.
