The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) enjoyed its second positive trading day of the week so far this Tuesday, although it was a close call.
After yesterday’s euphoric session, investors were far more downbeat this morning, with the ASX 200 opening sharply lower. However, the index recovered over the rest of the day, and eventually finished up 0.042% at 8,917.7 points.
This cautious day for Australian investors comes after an excited start to the American trading week on Wall Street last night.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) was in fine form, rising 0.92%.
But the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) was off to the races, rocketing a hefty 3.07%.
Let’s return to the local markets now and take stock of what the different ASX sectors were up to today amid our middling trading conditions.
Winners and losers
We had generous helpings of both winners and losers this Tuesday.
Leading the latter were consumer discretionary stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) took a 1.15% plunge today.
Tech shares weren’t popular either, with the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) tanking by 0.91%.
Industrial stocks didn’t have a nice time either. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) cratered 0.69% this session.
Mining shares joined the pity party, evident by the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ)’s 0.19% dip.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) came in right behind that. The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) suffered a 0.18% swing against it.
Consumer staples stocks were left out too, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) sliding 0.15%.
That’s it for the red sectors, though. Turning to the winners, it was again gold shares that shone the brightest. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) roared 1.84% higher today.
Energy stocks ran hot as well, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ)’s 1.1% surge.
Utilities shares came next. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) had 0.68% added to its total this Tuesday.
Financial stocks didn’t miss out, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) jumping 0.6%.
Communications shares joined the winners’ party as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) bounced up 0.17%.
Finally, healthcare stocks got across the line, as you can see by the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ)’s 0.04% inch higher.
