The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) bounced back from Wednesday's seven-week low today. The index closed 1.77% higher at 6,848.70 points.

It followed a strong session on Wall Street that saw the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) break a seven-session losing streak to gain 2.1%.

It might not surprise readers then that the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) led the market's gains today, rising 3.2%.

Meanwhile, lithium shares led the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ)'s 2.7% gain while the S&P/ASX Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) lifted 2.9%.

But it wasn't a great day for all ASX 200 sectors. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) tumbled 2.8% following a disastrous night for oil prices.

The Brent crude oil price fell 5.2% to a new seven-month low of US$88 overnight. Meanwhile, the US Nymex crude oil price dropped 5.7% to trade at US$81.94 a barrel – its lowest point since January.
