The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) racked up its eighth day of gains in a row this Tuesday, recording a tentative, yet positive rise.

By the time the closing bell rang, the ASX 200 had risen by 0.22%, leaving the index at a tantalising 7,997.7 points.

This successful Tuesday session for the Australian markets follows a strong night up on Wall Street overnight to kick off the American trading week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a very solid session indeed, gaining 0.58%.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) did far better again, shooting up an enthusiastic 1.39%.

Returning to the ASX now, and it's time for a look at how the various ASX sectors handled today's positive market mood.

Winners and losers

Even though the markets were in a decent mood this Tuesday, we still saw a few sectors miss out.

Chief amongst those were real estate investment trusts (REITs). The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) had another day to forget, tanking by a hefty 1.55%.

Consumer staples shares had a miserable time too, although tame by comparison, as you'll see from the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ)'s 0.11% slide.

Also copping a similar sell-down were industrial stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) fell 0.11% as well.

Consumer discretionary shares fared slightly better than their consumer staples counterparts, with the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) losing 0.08%.

Communications stocks were our final reds. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) slipped 0.04%.

But onto happier sectors now. Today's winners were tech shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was on fire, shooting up 1.29%.

Mining stocks also had a top day, as evidenced by the rise of the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) by 0.92%.

Utilities shares were right up there too. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) galloped up 0.9%.

As were gold stocks. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) climbed 0.83%.

Financial shares helped lift the index higher, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) gaining 0.25%.

Healthcare stocks brought it home as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) bounced 0.25% higher.

Finally, ASX energy shares counted themselves lucky, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ)'s 0.22% rise.

Today's winner was mining services stock Monadelphous Group Ltd (ASX: MND). Monadelphous shares had a great time, rocketing 11.59% up to $13.19 each.
