The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) continued its upwards trajectory today, posting a 0.44% gain to close at 7,490.4 points. That sees it just 1.8% lower than its all-time high – reached in 2021.

Meanwhile, the market geared up to learn of the latest Australian inflation figures, set to drop tomorrow. Some experts are hopeful the cash-eating measure that wreaked havoc on markets in 2022 peaked in the December quarter, my Fool colleague James reports.

Perhaps in anticipation, the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) posted today's biggest gain, lifting 1.8%.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) rose 1.3% following a strong session for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC). It surged 2% overnight.

On the other hand, the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) lost ground on Tuesday, falling 0.25%, dragged down by many of the big four banks.

So, having covered all that, let's take a gander at today's 10 top-performing ASX 200 shares.
