The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) traded in the green on Tuesday following yesterday's rough start to the week. The index closed 0.41% higher at 6,496.2 points.
That's despite the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) entering a bear market overnight, falling 1.1% to sit more than 20% below its January peak. The S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) and Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) each surpassed the unfortunate milestone earlier this year.
On a more positive note, miners led the market's gains today, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) lifting 2.6%.
That's despite most base metals falling amid concerns of a recession and a strengthening US dollar.
The latter likely also weighed on oil prices overnight. Though, you wouldn't know it from looking at the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ)'s performance. The energy sector gained 1.7% on Tuesday, driven by ASX 200 coal shares.
The Brent crude oil price slipped 2.4% overnight to US$84.06 a barrel and the US Nymex crude oil price fell 2.6% to US$76.71 a barrel.
On the other end of the market, the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) posted a 2.1% fall while the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) dumped 0.75%.
All in all, five of the ASX 200's 11 sectors posted gains on Tuesday. But which share outperformed all others? Keep reading to find out.
