Today saw the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) break its four-day winning streak following an earnings shocker on Wall Street last night. Australia's share market barometer — the benchmark index — slipped 0.87% lower to 6,785.7 points.

Leading the market lower on the final day of trade this week were the big names of the materials sector. Of those, Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) and Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) were the worst hit, both taking more than 6% worth of skin off their noses amid tumbling iron ore prices.

Similarly, the tech section of the ASX 200 tripped over and went for a roll lower. Investors looked to sell down their holdings in various tech companies after US tech stalwarts Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) were dealt disastrous blows to their valuations.

With all of those negative vibes, let's take a refreshing glance at the portion of the ASX that rocked it today.
