The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) had a very interesting day indeed this Tuesday. For most of the session, it looked as though the market was destined for a red day. However, investors pick up the buying in late afternoon trading.
The ASX 200 didn’t record a gain for the day, though. It didn’t record a loss either. Instead, it ended the day exactly where it started. Yep, the index was completely flat this Tuesday, moving precisely 0.00% and finishing at the 8,808.5 points it was sitting at 24 hours ago. A rare occurrence indeed.
This fascinating result for the local markets followed a decisively negative night to kick off the American trading week on Wall Street, though.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) wasn’t in a good mood, dropping 0.26%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared even worse, falling 1.55%
But let’s return to ASX shares now, though and take stock of how the different ASX sectors navigated this Tuesday’s tepid trading conditions.
Winners and losers
As you may expect, we had a fairly even break between winners and losers this session.
Leading the latter were real estate investment trusts (REITs). The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) was hit hard today, tumbling 1.64%.
Consumer staples shares didn’t hold their value either, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) tanking 0.81%.
Financial stocks also had a rough time. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) retreated 0.54%.
Industrial shares were on the nose too, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ)’s 0.47% slide.
That’s it for the res sectors though, so let’s get to the winners. Leading said winners were energy stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) rocketed 1.98% this Tuesday.
Utilities shares were in demand as well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) soaring 1.37%.
Mining stocks ran hot too. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) surged 0.67% by the closing bell.
Healthcare shares were right behind that, as you can see by the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ)’s 0.66% jump.
Gold stocks were als in that ballpark. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) leapt 0.62% higher this session.
Consumer discretionary shares came next, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) advancing 0.39%.
Communications stocks got out ahead as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) lifted 0.21% today.
Finally, tech shares were lucky to come out intact, evident by the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ)’ was hit hard, plunging 2.48%.’s 0.07% bump.
