The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) broke a four-session winning streak on Tuesday, falling 0.28% to close at 7,131 points.

Most of the ASX 200's 11 sectors closed lower today, with only the S&P/ASX 200 Communications Index (ASX: XTJ) and the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ) posting notable gains. They each rose around 0.2%.

The latter may have been bolstered by new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, finding Aussie households' discretionary spending was 6.3% higher in November 2022 than in the same month of 2021.

Spending on consumer staples also lifted 17.1%, while spending on goods and services lifted 1.2% and 24% respectively.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XJO) fell 0.3% today despite oil prices rising around 1.3% overnight.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) also fell 0.5%, weighed down by lithium and gold shares.

Still, there were plenty of gains on the ASX 200 on Tuesday. Let's look at the top 10.
