Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) finished the week on a positive note, breaking a four-day red streak. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 0.92% higher at 7,449.8 points.

The stars aligned for commodities overnight as oil, gold, and iron ore prices lifted. In response, both ASX-listed miners and oil companies had a good showing to cap off the week. Following closely behind were tech names and consumer staples. The only sector not able to push higher on Friday was healthcare.
