Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) couldn't avoid the negativity created by rising treasury yields. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 1.03% lower at 7,332.5 points.

Much like Wall Street overnight, it was technology shares that were dealt the harshest blow today. The sector suffered a 2.27% fall, with Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1) copping the brunt of pessimism after posting its second-quarter update. In contrast, energy and utilities were the only sectors capable of escaping the bleak sentiment across markets.

However, the question is: which shares delivered the biggest returns to investors on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that came through for investors:
