The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has kicked off the week enjoying a decent day of green here on the ASX boards this Monday. At the time of writing, the ASX 200 is up by 0.23% at 7,239 points.

But let's dive deeper and check out the ASX 200 shares that are currently at the top of the market's volume charts, according to investing.com.

The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume so far on Monday

A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M)

A2 Milk is our first share of the day today. This ASX 200 dairy share has seen a sizeable 14.41 million shares bought and sold so far. This volume is almost certainly the result of the company's half-year earnings report which was delivered this morning.

Although A2 Milk reported a mixed bag of results, investors seem to approve of what the company had to say. A2 Milk shares are currently up 11.13% at $5.89 each as it presently stands. It's these factors that are the likely reason why A2 Milk makes the list today.

AGL Energy Limited (ASX: AGL)

ASX 200 energy utility company AGL is next up today. AGL has had a hefty 14.57 million of its shares trade on the markets so far this Monday. This is probably a byproduct of the blockbuster machinations that have gone on with this company. 

As my Fool colleague James covered earlier, AGL received a takeover approach from billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and Brookfield Asset Management. Even though AGL quickly rejected the offer of $7.50 per share, the AGL share price is still up a pleasing 12.3% at the time of writing at $8.04 a share. This is probably why we are seeing so many AGL shares find a new home.

Tyro Payments Ltd (ASX: TYR)

ASX 200 payments company Tyro is our final and most traded share of the day this Monday. So far, a whopping 26.12 million Tyro shares have swapped hands. Again, we seem to have earnings to thank for this move. Tyro also reported its half-yearly results this morning.

But unfortunately, they haven't elicited the same response from investors. Tyro shares are presently down a nasty 26.8% at $1.60 a share, the lowest level since the 2020 COVID crash. This is why Tyro is topping today's trading volume charts.
