Welcome to our first top ten list for 2025! The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) enjoyed a strong Tuesday session today, adding a comfortable 0.34% to yesterday's more muted rise. That leaves the ASX 200 at 8,285.1 points.

This happy day for the Australian market follows a more mixed night over on Wall Street to kick off the American trading week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) gave up an early lead to slump 0.06% lower.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) was far more euphoric though, shooting up 1.24%.

But let's stick with the local markets and take a look at how the various ASX sectors handled today's pleasant market vibes.

Winners and losers

Despite investors' good mood today, there were still a handful of sectors that were walked back.

The most prominent of those was utilities shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) was singled out for punishment this Tuesday, tanking 0.87% lower.

Mining shares were also left out in the cold, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) dipping 0.54%.

The other losers today were consumer staples shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) suffered a 0.15% swing against it.

But that's it for the losers. Turning to the winners now, the best place to have had money invested in today was tech shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) soared up 1.46%.

Communications stocks had a great time too, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)'s 1.25% rise.

Next up, we had consumer discretionary shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) enjoyed a decent 0.72% lift this Tuesday.

Healthcare stocks were in the same ballpark, with the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) bouncing 0.64% higher.

Financial shares were in fine form, too. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) was sent up 0.49%.

Industrial stocks were hot on financials' heels, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ)'s 0.44% bump.

Energy shares came next. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) banked a 0.42% gain this session.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) fared almost identically, with the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ) adding 0.4%.

Finally, gold shares notched up a win. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) ticked 0.14% higher by market close.
