After wobbling in and out of the green this morning, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) cemented its position in the red on Thursday, closing the session 0.27% lower at 7,324.1 points.
It followed a weak session on Wall Street overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) dropped 0.1% on Wednesday overseas, while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) tumbled 0.9%.
The New York-based indicesâ falls came amid the latest United States inflation data. The nationâs headline consumer price index (CPI) dropped to 5% in March. It seems that wasnât a large enough fall to warrant investor enthusiasm.
Back home, the S&P/ ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) weighed heaviest, falling 1.2%. Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) slumped 0.7%.
On the other hand, it was a good day to be invested in energy stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) lifted 0.9% on Thursday.
So, what all that in mind, letâs take a look at the 10 ASX 200 shares that outperformed all others in todayâs session.
