S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) mining and tech shares weighed on the market on Monday. The ASX 200 index was 1.14% lower at 6,602.20 points when the market closed.

Its suffering came on the back of a mixed session on Wall Street. The S&P 500 slipped close to 0.1% on Friday while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.15%. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ Composite rose 0.12%.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) plunged more than 2% on Monday, potentially on the back of falling base metals. Iron ore futures lifted 0.4% on Friday to trade at US$113.76 – 1.3% lower than it ended the previous week.

Today wasn't much better on the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ). The sector also plunged more than 2% on Monday, driven lower by the EML Payments Ltd (ASX: EML) share price's 24% tumble. The company notified the market of its CEO's unexpected departure this morning.  

The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) posted a slight gain today, potentially on the back of higher oil and coal prices.

At the end of Monday's trade, two of the ASX 200's 11 sectors were in the green.

But not all shares suffered today. Read on to find out which ASX shares bested the rest to post Monday's biggest gains.
