The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) lost its momentum on Tuesday, giving investors a red day for most of their stocks during a volatile trading session.

By the close of trading, the ASX 200 had retreated by 0.08%, leaving the index at 7,659 points.

This disappointing development for the week's trading for ASX shares follows an equally dour night over on the US markets last night.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) opened the American trading week with a hefty loss of 0.37%.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) was even more on the nose, losing 0.82% of its value.

But enough of that. Let's get back to the ASX now, and take stock of how the various ASX sectors fared during today's miserly trading.

Winners and losers

Despite the drop in the overall market, we still had quite a few sectors that recorded a gain this Tuesday. But more on that in a moment.

The worst sectors for today's session were headlined by mining shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) had a clanger, tanking by 1.09%.

It wasn't much better for energy stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) was singled out for punishment, shedding 0.91%.

Utilities shares were also on the nose, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ)'s loss of 0.48%.

Consumer discretionary stocks had a rough time too, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) losing 0.36%.

Healthcare shares were the final loser from today's session. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) walked backwards by 0.1%.

Turning now to the winners, it was communications stocks leading the charge higher today. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) had a great time, bouncing 1.47% higher.

Also hot were real estate investment trusts (REITs). The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) regained some of yesterday's losses with a rise of 0.89%.

Financial shares had a pleasant day as well, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)'s 0.44% lift.

Then we had consumer staples stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) was another bright spot, vaulting 0.27% higher.

Tech shares didn't miss out. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) ended up gaining 0.19%.

Neither did gold stocks. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) glittered with a 0.19% push upwards.

Finally, industrials shares eked out a gain as well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) inching 0.18% higher.
