It was a rough start to the trading week for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) this Monday.

After an extraordinary week last week which saw the ASX 200 hit a new all-time high, the index went backwards by 0.22% this session to close at 8,537.1 points.

This rough start to the week's trading for ASX shares follows a mixed finish to the American week on Saturday morning.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) finished up with a 0.37% loss for the Americans' Friday session.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) was more upbeat though, rising 0.41%.

But let's return to this week and our local market now for a checkup on how the different ASX sectors fared amid today's trading conditions.

Winners and losers

We had plenty of both winners and losers this Monday.

Leading the latter group were gold shares. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) had a particularly tough time of it today, crashing 2.68% lower.

Energy stocks didn't have much fun either, with the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) plunging 1.5%.

Financial shares got hammered too. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) had 1.07% wiped from its value today.

Communications stocks pulled up in much better shape, illustrated by the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)'s 0.32% slide.

Mining shares were our final losers. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) slipped by 0.3% this session.

Turning to the winners now, it was utility stocks that topped the charts today, with the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) shooting 1.6% higher.

Consumer staples shares were running hot as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) soared up 1.23% this Monday.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also had a great day, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index (ASX: XPJ)'s 0.94% rise.

Consumer discretionary shares were in demand too. The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) managed to surge 0.73% by the closing bell.

Healthcare stocks fared similarly, with the S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) lifting 0.67%.

Industrial shares wrangled out a win as well. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ) saw its value tick up by 0.36%.

Finally, tech stocks managed to land on the right side of the ledger, evidenced by the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ)'s 0.04% bump.
