Some $A67.55bn worth of Commonwealth Bank shares changed hands in 2016, making it the most-traded Australian stock by value for the second consecutive year. Turnover of BHP Billiton shares totalled $A62.71, making it the second-most traded stock by value for the calendar year. Michael Heffernan of Phillip Capital says the banking major is likely to retain the title for some time. Telstra was the most-traded stock by volume for the seventh year in a row.
