It was a miserable start to the trading week (and to the summer) for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Monday. After an initially positive start, falling sentiment ended up dragging the index lower by the closing bell, with proceedings further marred by ASX technical glitches throughout the day.
By the time the markets closed, the ASX 200 had dropped 0.57% to 8,565.2 points.
This rough start to the Australian trading week follows a far more sprightly short Friday session on the American markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) finished its week on a post-Thanksgiving high, rising 0.61%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared similarly, gaining 0.65%.
But let’s get back to this week and the local markets now to check out what was happening amongst the various ASX sectors.
Winners and losers
As one might expect, there were more red sectors than green ones this Monday.
Leading those red sectors were, rather ironically, healthcare stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) was slammed this session, plunging by 1.65%.
Tech shares also copped a beating, with the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) tanking 1.33%.
Communications stocks got the raw end of the stick as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) took a 1.11% dive today.
Financial shares weren’t rising to the rescue, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)’s 0.93% slump.
Consumer staples stocks were no safe haven either. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) cratered 0.87%.
Industrial shares shared a similar fate, with the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) dipping 0.81%.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) fared a little better. The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) still stumbled 0.35%.
Consumer discretionary stocks came next, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ)’s 0.19% tumble.
Our last losers were gold shares. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) saw its value slide 0.05% lower this Monday.
Turning to the green sectors now, it was energy stocks that led the pack, with the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) shooting 0.52% higher.
Mining shares rode out the storm as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) lifted 0.27% today.
Finally, utilities stocks clawed a win, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ)’s 0.1% increase.
