The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) broke what was a three-session winning streak on Thursday with tech shares leading the downfall. The index finished today's trade 0.21% lower at 7,112.80 points.
The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was the market's worst-performing sector, falling 2.4%, following a rough day on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC). The Wall Street index slipped 1.25% overnight.
The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) also underperformed after recording a notable gain on Wednesday, while the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: XSJ) lifted for a sixth consecutive session.
Also trading in the green was the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ). It gained 1.4% to lead the market, likely on the back of higher energy commodity prices.
European coal futures reportedly rose overnight amid increasing concerns of an energy shortage on the continent. Meanwhile, oil prices lifted off a six-month low. The Brent crude price rose 1.4% to US$93.65 a barrel and the US Nymex crude price gained 1.8% to US$88.11 a barrel.
At the end of Thursday's session, three of the ASX 200's 11 sectors were trading higher.
