The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) recovered from Tuesday's fall today, lifting 1.63% to close at 7,059.2 points.

Its gains came despite a rough night's trade on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) traded flat on Tuesday overseas while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) dropped 0.8%.

Interestingly, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) led the way today. It rose 2.9%.

And the tech sector wasn't alone in posting a whopper gain. The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) also lifted 2.2% while the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) jumped 2.1%.

It wasn't such a good day for energy stocks, however. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) fell 1.3% after the price of oil slid 4% amid concerns about Chinese demand and a stronger US dollar, Reuters reports.

So, with all that in mind, let's take a look at today's top-performing ASX 200 shares.
