S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares pushed through another day of big earnings news as the index lifted for a third consecutive day. It closed Tuesday's session 0.58% higher at 7,105.4 points, marking a new nine-week high.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) led the way today, gaining 1.7%. Its top-performing constituent was BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) after the iron ore giant posted a US$21.3 billion underlying attributable profit and a US$1.75 final dividend.

The sector's strong performance was made more impressive by the struggling iron ore price. Iron ore futures slipped 2.8% overnight to reach US$106.79 a tonne. Meanwhile, some base metal prices fell as much as 4.5% and gold futures slumped 1% to US$1,798.1 an ounce.

The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) and the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) also outperformed, each gaining 1%.

It wasn't all sunshine on the market today, however. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) slumped 1%. The Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT) share price struggled for a second consecutive day to close down 3.95%. This is seemingly spurred by the company's full-year results released yesterday.

All in all, nine of the ASX 200's 11 sectors lifted on Tuesday. But which ASX share was the index's top performer? Keep reading to find out.
