The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was off and racing on Monday, starting the week with a 0.87% gain to close at 7,217.4 points.

It followed an equally buoyant Friday on Wall Street and amid news a tentative agreement has been struck that will see the United States avoid hitting its debt ceiling.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) rose 1% on Friday, while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) gained 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) surged 2.2%.

Back home, the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) led the way, lifting 1.9%.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) and the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (XMJ) – the ASX 200's two largest sectors – outperformed, rising 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively.

But there was one notable laggard. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) slumped 0.6% amid a disappointing performance from the Idp Education Ltd (ASX: IEL), share price.

So, with all that in mind, let's take a look at 10 ASX 200 shares that outperformed all others on Monday.
