Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) posted its third day in a row of gains as the Reserve Bank of Australia held rates on geopolitical uncertainty. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 0.67% higher at 7,096.5 points.
Modest falls in a few sectors were outweighed by exceptional returns across numerous segments of the market today. Notably, the Aussie tech sector absorbed plenty of capital as investors pushed it 5.7% higher. Only one tech company was unable to share in the optimism on Tuesday.
In contrast, the utilities sector was the worst-performing sector on the market. Part of the weakness could be attributable to Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG) trading ex-dividend today.
However, the question is: which shares managed to stay in the green on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that pulled through for investors:
