ASX 200 mining giants BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) and Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) were the two most traded ASX shares last month among investors using the Selfwealth trading platform.

This reflected the commencement of a short-and-sharp rotation out of ASX 200 bank shares into the mining shares after China announced various new stimulus measures.

Investors jumped on mining shares as soon as news of the stimulus broke. They anticipated that the new measures would raise demand for iron ore in China, leading to stronger iron ore prices.

Iron ore commodity values had fallen to two-year lows prior to the news of the economic stimulus.

The BHP share price rose 12.73% over the month, while Fortescue shares surged 13.19%.
