Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) bolted upwards in the morning before strength moderated in the afternoon following worse than expected economic data out of China. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 0.25% higher at 7,093 points.

Despite the market getting a dose of concerning data from China, most ASX shares pushed onwards and upwards today. The biggest winners could be found in the tech and industrial sectors, with investors willing to bring back the bidding pressure.

At the other end of the market, the healthcare sector was the straggler at the back of the pack. A handful of healthcare shares had a green glimmer, though CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) weighed the sector down.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
