The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) spent the day in the green on Monday, rising 0.27% to close at 7,381.5 points.

That was despite a disappointing Friday session on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) ended last week with a 0.4% fall, while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) dropped 0.4%.

Back home, the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) led the way today, rising 1.3%.

The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) and the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) also posted gains, each lifting 0.7%.

The mining sector, on the other hand, underperformed. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) traded relatively flat, rising just 0.1%. Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) slumped 0.3%.

But which ASX 200 share started the week out on the best foot? Let's take a look.
