It was a bouncy yet positive start to the trading week this Monday for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).

After enjoying a very successful week last week, the ASX 200 managed to keep the train rolling today, recording a rise of 0.12%. That leaves the index at 7,980.4 points.

This happy beginning to this week's trading comes after a successful conclusion to last week's trading for American shares on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) vaulted 0.24% higher on Friday night (our time).

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) fared similarly, gaining 0.21%.

But let's return to the present and the local markets by checking out what was happening in the different ASX sectors during today's session.

Winners and losers

Despite the broader market's gains, we still saw a swathe of sectors that recorded a loss today.

Most prominently, consumer staples shares were punished today. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) tanked 0.83%.

Mining stocks also had a rough time, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) dropping 0.59%.

As did energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) ended up sinking 0.55%.

Consumer discretionary stocks also had a bad day, illustrated by the loss of 0.41% in the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ).

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were also excluded from the party. This Monday, the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) was downgraded by 0.24%.

Communications shares were shunned too, with the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) falling 0.17%.

ASX industrial stocks tied with communications. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) mirrored that 0.17% slide.

Turning now to the winning sectors, these were led by gold shares. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) had a blast today, rocketing 1.71% higher.

Utilities stocks also had a memorable day, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) shooting up 1.67%.

Financial shares were running hot as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) soared 0.82%.

Healthcare stocks were a little less enthusiastic, but the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) still managed to grow by 0.55%.

Tech shares were our last winners today. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) managed to get a respectable 0.38% lift.

Topping the index by a country mile today was tech stock Audinate Group Ltd (ASX: AD8). Audinate shares roared 19.89% higher up to $11.33 each.

This huge gain came after Audinate dropped its latest full-year earnings this morning, which were clearly impressive to the market.
