The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) enjoyed a mild recovery this Tuesday, bouncing back a little from yesterday’s rough start to the trading week.
By the time the markets closed up shop, the ASX 200 had risen by 0.17%. That leaves the index at 8,579.7 points.
This decent Tuesday session for the local markets comes after a gloomy start to the American trading week in the early hours of this morning.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a tough start, dropping a weighty 0.9%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared a little better, but still fell 0.38%.
But let’s return to ASX shares now and check out which of the different ASX sectors benefited the most (and least) from today’s trading.
Winners and losers
Despite the market’s rise, there were still a few sectors that were left behind.
The most conspicuous of those were tech stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) had a horrid day, tanking by 1.55%.
Utilities shares were also shunned, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) diving 0.41%.
Consumer discretionary stocks were left out in the cold, too. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) went backwards by 0.34% today.
Gold shares were no safe haven either, illustrated by the All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD)’s 0.17% dip.
Industrial stocks fared similarly. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) lost 0.13% by the closing bell.
Communications shares also missed out, with the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) sliding 0.07% lower.
Our final losers this Tuesday were healthcare stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) ended up slipping 0.01%.
Let’s turn to the green sectors now. The charge higher was led by energy shares, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ)’s 1.08% surge.
Mining stocks had another decent day, too. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) galloped up 0.74%.
Consumer staples shares fared well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) jumping 0.46%.
We could say the same for real estate investment trusts (REITs). The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) lifted 0.43% today.
Finally, financial stocks joined the winner’s list, if only just, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)’s 0.03% bump.
