Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) experienced a bumpy ride as it bounced between positive and negative. Unfortunately, it was on the negative side of the fence that the market decided to settle on by the end of the day. In specific terms, the benchmark index finished 0.28% lower at 7,384.5 points.
Despite oil prices rising overnight, energy shares acted as the benchmark's biggest detractor on Thursday. Likewise, tech companies failed to find sympathy among investors, with the sector being another laggard on the market today. Meanwhile, healthcare and utilities provided some buoyancy to an otherwise lackluster session.
