These All Ords shares are defying the ASX's downturn

It's been a rough week on the market. Indeed, the benchmark index is on track to finish the week 3.7% lower than it closed last week's trade. But it's not all doom and gloom. Plenty of All Ords shares are boasting notable gains on Friday.

The index is currently being led by three shares, each operating in vastly different spaces.

Oil and gas explorer Carnarvon Energy Ltd (ASX: CVN) is in the lead, posting a 11.3% gain to trade at 16.7 cents. It's joined in the All Ords top three performers by minerals explorer and developer 5E Advanced Materials Inc (ASX: 5EA) – up 7.5% to $2.28 – despite the prices of both oil and major commodities falling overnight.

The Cettire Ltd (ASX: CTT) share price is also posting a decent performance, lifting 7.9% to trade at 75 cents. That's despite no news having been released by the online luxury goods retailer.

Many larger ASX All Ords shares are also putting on a strong performance today.

The Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG) share price, for one, is lifting 2% right now. Meanwhile, shares in Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: CUV) are up 3.9%.

Finally, tech favourite and ASX constituent Life360 Inc (ASX: 360) is also well and truly in the green, having lifted 6.4% at the time of writing.
