It was a very pleasant start to what is shaping up to be a big trading week for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Monday.

After a sobering conclusion to last week's trading, investors seem to have turned a corner today. By the time the markets closed, the ASX 200 had added 0.56% to its value, leaving the index at 8,164.6 points.

This happy start to the week's trading for Australian investors comes after a decent conclusion to the American trading week last Saturday morning (our time).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) had a very nice day indeed, vaulting 0.69% higher.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) did even better, receiving a 0.8% bump.

But let's return to this week and our local markets with a look at what the different ASX sectors were doing today.

Winners and losers

It was a great day for almost every corner of the ASX today, with only two sectors recording a loss.

The first and worst of those were energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) had another rough session this Monday, dropping 0.7%.

The other losing sector was mining stocks, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) retreating 0.46%.

But it was all smiles everywhere else.

The best place to have had money invested today was in tech shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) had a fantastic time of it, exploding 1.7% higher.

Tieing for first place were also utilities stocks, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ)'s 1.7% surge.

Communications shares were in the same ballpark. The S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ) ended up vaulting 1.65% higher.

Industrial stocks were next, with the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) soaring 1.4%.

Healthcare shares had a great time as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) galloped up 1.23%.

Financial stocks also found themselves on the winning side, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ)'s 0.84% rise.

Following financials were consumer discretionary shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) ticked up 0.57%.

ASX real estate investment trusts (REITs) were a little less enthusiastic, but the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) still managed a 0.17% lift.

Consumer staples stocks followed just behind that. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) bounced up 0.15%.

Finally, gold shares were at the back of the winners' pack, with the All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) inching 0.02% higher.

Today's winner was healthcare stock Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX). Telix shares had a great day, shooting up 3.5% to $22.20 each.

This move followed an announcement from the company that informed investors that Telix may benefit from some regulatory changes over in the United States.
