The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was driven higher by mining shares on Monday. The index gained 0.6% to close at 6,933.7 points.
The iron ore price has also had a green run, as my Fool colleague Bernd reports. Rumours China could be about to loosen up on its COVID-zero policies briefly appeared to drive the materialâs value higher.
Iron ore futures lifted 2.1% to US$85.16 a tonne on Friday. At the same time, gold futures lifted 2.8% to US$1,676.70.
Perhaps unsurprisingly then, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) outperformed on Monday, gaining 3.7%.
The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) also lifted 1.3% amid soaring oil prices.
The Brent crude oil price rose by 4.1% to US$98.57 a barrel on Friday while the US Nymex crude oil price lifted 5% to US$92.61 a barrel.
Sadly, its gain was offset by the 2.2% tumble posted by the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ).
All in all, eight of the ASX 200âs 11 sectors closed in the green today. But which share outperformed all others? Keep reading to find out.
