It was a pleasing end to the trading week for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) and most ASX shares this Friday.

After a weak session yesterday, the ASX 200 bounced back today, recording a healthy 0.58% rise. That leaves the index at 8,091.9 points as we head into the weekend.

This happy conclusion to the ASX's week comes after a decent night of trading over on Wall Street last night (our time).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) was in fine form, shooting up 0.59%.

But the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn't so lucky, dropping 0.23% lower.

Time now to get back to the ASX though, with a look at what the various ASX sectors were doing this Friday.

Winners and losers

It was fairly exuberant on the ASX boards today, with only a few sectors retreating.

Leading those downtrodden sectors were consumer discretionary shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) had a day to forget, tanking 0.46%.

Healthcare stocks were ironically also out of favour, with the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) sliding 0.1% lower.

Our final losers were consumer staples shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) inching down 0.01%.

It was all smiles for the other sectors though. Leading the charge were gold stocks, with the All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) surging up 1.92%.

Industrial shares were on fire too. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) soared 1.65% higher.

Energy stocks were also a bright spot, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ)'s 1.27% gallop upwards.

The same could be said of real estate investment trusts (REITs). The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) vaulted 0.94% higher.

ASX mining shares were making investors happy too, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) leaping 0.71%.

As were financial stocks. The  S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) shot up 0.68%.

Communications shares put on a decent show as well, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)'s 0.53% jump.

Utilities stocks joined the party. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) saw its value bid up by 0.52%.

Finally, tech shares closed out our winners, with the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) lifting 0.23%.
