The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) ended the week in the red once more. The index fell 0.8% to 6,676.8 points on Friday. That leaves it 1.21% lower than it finished last week's trade.

It followed a rough Thursday for New York-listed stocks, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) falling 0.4%, the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) dropping 0.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) slipping 0.6%.

Back home, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) was the only sector to post a notable gain, lifting 2% despite a mixed night for oil prices.

The Brent crude oil price fell less than 0.1% to US$92.38 a barrel while the US Nymex crude oil price rose 0.5% to US$85.98 a barrel.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XJO) traded comparatively flat, slipping 0.3% after a steady night for both gold and iron ore.

But there was plenty of pain to be felt elsewhere. The S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ) plunged 2.3% while the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) fell 1.8%.

But not all ASX 200 shares suffered amid the market's downturn. These 10 stocks raced higher to finish the week in the green.
