The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has capped off its (short) trading week this week with yet another rise, this one a decisive one.

After gaining every single day this week, the ASX 200 made a show of it this Friday. By market close, the index had bounced by a robust 0.48% up to 7,555.4 points.

This encouraging finish this week follows a more mixed night up on Wall Street last night for the Americans' Wednesday session.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a bit of a disappointing one, giving up an early lead to finish up with a 0.26% loss.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared better though, recording a rise of 0.36% for the day.

But time now to get back to the ASX with a look at how the different ASX sectors finished up their respective weeks.

Winners and losers

Despite the enthusiastic showing from the broader markets, we still had quite a few sectors that went backwards today.

The worst of those were tech stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) again led the losers with a drop of 0.40%.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were also on the nose, with the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) falling 0.35%.

Industrial shares turned out to be another sore spot, with the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) losing 0.07% of its value.

As did consumer discretionary stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) walked 0.06% backward by the end of the day.

Gold shares were just behind that, with the All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) sliding 0.05%.

Our final loser was the consumer staples sector. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) slipped 0.01% by the closing bell.

That's it for the losers.

Turning now to the winners, it was mining shares that were throwing the biggest party this Thursday. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) had a ball, leaping 1.39% higher.

Energy stocks came in next, with the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) vaulting 0.88% higher.

Next up were ASX healthcare shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) was back on with a rise of 0.78%.

Healthcare was followed by financial stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) was making friends with an increase worth 0.23%.

Communications shares were in demand, too, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) swelling 0.17%.

Finally, utilities stocks eked out a mild rise as well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) lifting 0.01%.

Taking out the top spot on the table today was tech share Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT).

Weebit shares soared by an impressive 8.83% up to $3.82 each. There wasn't any news out of the company itself, but most tech stocks had a strong day today.

Here's how the rest of that table looks:
