The first session of 2023 brought chaos to the market as the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) fell 1.31%. The index closed Tuesday at 6,946.2 points.

It was the banks that weighed heaviest on the ASX. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) dropped 1.9% with the Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) share price leading the downturn, falling 2.7%.

Also struggling were stocks in the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) and the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ). The sectors tumbled 1.8% and 1.7% respectively.

Interestingly, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) performed on par with the broader index despite New Hope Corporation Limited (ASX: NHC) posting today's biggest fall. The coal stock plummeted 8.5% on Tuesday despite the company's silence.

It wasn't all dire, however. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) clambered its way into the green this afternoon, though it ultimately closed 0.1% lower.

But which ASX 200 share outperformed all others to post the strongest start to the new year? Keep reading to find out.
