What a day for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Tuesday was.

After yesterday's strong start to the trading week, investors stepped on the gas this Tuesday, pushing the ASX 200 to another intra-day record high.

The index gained 0.79% during the day's trading and closed at 8,318.4 points. However, it had reached a new all-time high of 8,331.7 points earlier in the afternoon.

This euphoric Tuesday for the ASX comes after an equally bullish night up on Wall Street overnight to kick off the American trading week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had another top session, gaining a rosy 0.47% after hitting a new record high of its own.

It was even better for the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC), which climbed 0.87%.

But let's return to the local markets now and examine how the different ASX sectors benefited from today's market optimism.

Winners and losers

As one would expect, most ASX sectors did rather well this Tuesday. But there are a couple of exceptions.

The first, energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) missed out on today's gains, and slumped by a disappointing 1.25%.

Consumer staples stocks were the other unlucky corner of the market. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) dropped 0.31% today.

But it was all smiles everywhere else.

Financial shares led the winners this session, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) rocketing 1.32%.

Gold stocks also had a day to remember. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) soared by 1.11%.

Industrial shares joined the party, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ)'s 1.08% surge.

As did tech stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) galloped up 1.04%.

Communications shares ran hot as well, with the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) climbing a flat 1%.

Following communications shares were healthcare stocks. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) recorded a 0.82% rise.

Then we had ASX real estate investment trusts (REITs), with the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) lifting 0.78%.

Mining shares had a great time today too. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) rose by a confident 0.59%.

Consumer discretionary stocks weren't quite as confident, but the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) still managed a 0.42% bounce.

Finally, utilities shares scraped through with a gain. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) managed to inch 0.07% higher.

Healthcare company Healius Ltd (ASX: HLS) was today's index winner. Healius shares shot up a huge 7.25% today to finish at $1.85 each.
