The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) endured a rough start to the trading week this Monday. After ending last week on a positive note, ASX investors clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

By the end of trading this afternoon, the ASX 200 had been walked back 0.22% to finish at 7,750.7 points.

This miserly start to the Australian trading week comes after a similarly negative end to the American trading week last Friday night (our time).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: DJI) started off strong but ended up finishing 0.12% lower.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared even worse, shedding 0.71% of its value by the end of the session.

But let's get back to this week and the local markets now with an analysis of what the various ASX sectors were up to this Monday.

Winners and losers

Despite the bad mood of the broader market, we still saw a few sectors enjoy a lift. But let's get the losers out of the way first.

Leading those losers was the tech sector. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was a horror show today, tanking 2.21%.

Healthcare stocks also had a horrid time of it. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) cratered 1.59%.

Communications shares were also on the nose, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)'s loss of 0.97%.

Consumer staples stocks did similarly. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) ended up shedding 0.8%.

Gold shares followed right after that. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) saw 0.78% wiped off its value.

Financial stocks were also getting sold off, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) giving up 0.52%.

ASX industrial shares had a day to forget as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) retreated 0.37%.

Consumer discretionary stocks weren't riding to the rescue either, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ)'s 0.25% slide.

But that's it for the losers. Turning to the winners now, it was mining shares leading the charge higher this Monday. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) was on fire, surging 1.03%.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were running hot too. The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) enjoyed a 0.81% hike today.

Energy stocks overcame an initial slump to rise in value today, with the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) lifting 0.36%.

Utilities shares were our final winners. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) ended the day 0.05% higher than where it started.
