S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares performed well on Tuesday as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) hiked rates for a third consecutive month. The index was 0.25% higher at 6,629.30 points at market close.
The RBA lifted the offical cash rate 50 basis points to 1.35% this month. Unlike last month, the central bank suggested August could bring a steadying of the cash rate, my Fool colleague Brendon Lau reports.
The ASX 200 was led by energy shares today, likely on the back of higher oil prices. The Brent crude price rose 1.7% to US$113.50 a barrel overnight while the US Nymex crude price lifted 2.1% in after-hours trade to reach US$110.66 a barrel.
That saw Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) among the leaders of the pack. Its share price boasted a 5.3% gain at its intraday high.
The tech sector also performed well on Tuesday, with the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) gaining 1.8%.
At the end of the session, nine of the ASX 200's 11 sectors were in the green, with only the industrial and real estate sectors languishing.
