It was a sour end to the trading week for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Friday.

After spending time in both positive and negative territory today, the ASX 200 ended up finishing down 0.11% by the closing bell. That leaves the index at 8,511.4 points as we head into the weekend.

This rather wild day of trading for the ASX follows a mixed morning up on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a tough session, falling 0.28%.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) did far better though, leaping 0.51% higher.

Let's return to the local markets now though and check out what the different ASX sectors were up to today.

Winners and losers

Despite the broader market's drop, we had a fairly even mix of losers and winners this Friday.

Leading the former group were energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) was singled out for punishment this session, tanking 1.45%.

Gold stocks also went backwards, with the All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) cratering 1.37% lower.

Healthcare shares had a day to forget too. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) received a 1.03% reality check.

Utility stocks weren't in demand either, as you'll see from the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ)'s 0.86% decline.

Industrial shares found themselves in the losers column as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) was walked back by 0.61%.

It was a little better for consumer discretionary stocks, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) sliding 0.27% down.

Turning to the winners now, the best place to have been today was in tech shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) had a comfortable session, shooting up 0.55%.

Consumer staples stocks were right behind that, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ)'s 0.51% surge.

Mining shares banked a gain as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) lifted by 0.29% this session.

Communications stocks find demand too, with the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) bouncing up 0.21%.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were also on the winners list. The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) ticked up by 0.12%.

Finally, financial shares eked out a gain, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)'s 0.05% bump.
