One of the best-performing ASX 200 shares today was the healthcare business Mayne Pharma Group Ltd (ASX: MYX) which saw its share price increase 1.1%.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, gold miners were some of the top performers with today's market decline. The Regis Resources Limited (ASX: RRL) share price rose around 1% and the Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) share price increased by around 1.1%.

But, for a lot of the ASX it was a sea of red on global worries. The Avita Medical Ltd (ASX: AVH) share price fell 8.7%.

The Metcash Limited (ASX: MTS) share price dropped 1.4% after announcing an impairment that will be recognised in its next result.

The share price of Caltex Australia Limited (ASX: CTX) fell 0.7% after declining the initial takeover offer.

An upgrade to its production targets saw the Santos Ltd (ASX: STO) share price fall by only 0.5% today.

Finally, the share price of WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) fell around 6%, making it one of the worst performers in the ASX 200.
