It was a great start to the trading week this Monday for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) and most ASX shares.
After a rough week last week, the ASX 200 looks to have turned over a new leaf today, recording a healthy rise of 0.77%. That leaves the index at 7,761 points.
This happy start for ASX shares comes after a mixed close to the American trading week last Friday night (our time).
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a cracking time, shooting 1.51% higher.
But the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn't quite as lucky, slipping 0.012% lower.
Let's get back to this week though and check out how the different ASX sectors travelled through today's jubilent stock market moves.
