It was another positive session for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Tuesday in what is turning out to be a great week for the share market so far (touch wood).
By the time trading wrapped up this Tuesday, the ASX 200 banked a rise of 0.92%. That leaves the index back above 8,000 points at 8,070.6.
This jubilant session for ASX shares comes after a decent performance for US shares on Wall Street last night, too.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) was in form, adding 0.28% to its total.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn't quite so lucky, slipping 0.097%.
But let's return to the ASX now and examine what was happening in the different ASX sectors today.
Once again, we had two sectors that missed out on the gains of the broader market.
First up are gold shares. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) had a miserly session this Tuesday, dipping 0.17%.
Consumer staples stocks were the other losers, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) shrinking 0.03%.
But it was all gravy everywhere else.
Leading the winners were energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) was in fine form, galloping 2.46% higher.
Utilities stocks ran hot too, as you can see by the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ)'s 2.29% surge.
Tech shares had a great day as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) soared 1.45%.
Mining stocks recovered from yesterday's slump, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) adding 1.43%.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) didn't miss out either. The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) shot up 1.12% this Tuesday.
Industrial shares put on a strong showing as well, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ)'s 0.91% rise.
Next came consumer discretionary stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) went home 0.8% heavier after the closing bell.
Then we had communications shares, with the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) lifting by 0.67%.
Healthcare stocks had a decent showing, too. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) added 0.61% to its value today.
Finally, financial shares managed to join the winner's tent, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)'s 0.6% bounce.
Today's top dog was uranium miner Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE). Boss shares rose by a confident 14.29% to finish at $3.20 each.
This big jump followed Boss releasing its latest quarterly update, which investors were clearly impressed by.
