The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) tumbled into the weekend on the back of a dire session on Wall Street. The index closed 0.78% lower at 7,148.7 points today. That marks a 0.89% week-on-week fall.
Fears of a recession following the recent rate hike from the US Federal Reserve appeared to drive New York indices lower overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) fell 2.2%, the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) dropped 2.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) plunged 3.2%.
With that in mind, I doubt it's a surprise to anyone that Aussie tech stocks were among those suffering the most today. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) plummeted 2%. The Block Inc (ASX: SQ2) share price led the sector's fall with a 6.2% tumble.
On the other hand, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) posted the biggest gain, rising 0.3% despite falling oil prices.
The Brent crude oil price fell 1.8% to US$81.21 a barrel and the US Nymex crude oil price dropped 1.5% to US$76.11 a barrel.
All in all, two of the ASX 200's 11 sectors closed in the green today. But which stock outperformed all others to end the week on the highest high? Keep reading to find out.
