The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) enjoyed an enthusiastic rebound today as investors brushed off the worries that dominated the markets yesterday to push decisively higher.
By the time the markets closed today, the ASX 200 had added a healthy 1.16% to its total, pushing the index up to 7,918.9 points.
This happy turnaround for Australian shares comes after a similarly bullish morning up on the US markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) was in fine form, rising 0.92%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) got an even bigger boost, shooting up 1.41%.
Let's return to the ASX boards now for a check of what the different ASX sectors were up to this Thursday.
There were only a couple of sectors that missed out on a rise this session.
The first, and worst, of those were mining stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) had a rough day, sliding 0.62% lower.
The other unlucky corner of the market today was utilities shares, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) dipping 0.19%.
It was all smiles everywhere else though.
The best place to be today was in tech stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was on fire today, rocketing up 2.42%.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also had a day to remember, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ)'s 2.13% surge.
Gold shares ran hot too. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) soared up by a robust 2.09%.
Financial stocks were in demand as well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) galloping up 1.86%.
Healthcare shares were in the same ballpark. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) put on an additional 1.76% this session.
Consumer discretionary stocks made investors happy as well, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ)'s 1.44% improvement.
Industrial shares found themselves among the winners. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) recorded a rise of 1.3% today.
We can say the same for energy stocks, with the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) gaining 1.11%.
Communications shares had another positive day. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) lifted by 1.03%.
Finally, consumer staples stocks managed to make the cut, as you can see by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ)'s 0.28% bump.
