The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) wobbled in and out of the green on Wednesday before ultimately closing 0.1% higher at 7,393.4 points.

Providing the biggest boost was the tech sector. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) outperformed, lifting 1.7% on Wednesday, driven by a 4.6% gain out of Block Inc (ASX: SQ2).

Weighing heaviest on the Aussie bourse, meanwhile, was the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE), falling 0.9%.

In the doldrums alongside it was the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ). The sector slumped 0.2% despite oil prices rising overnight.

The Brent crude oil price rose 1.7% to US$85.92 a barrel overnight while the US Nymex crude oil price gained 0.4% to US$80.18 a barrel amid better-than-expected growth data out of China.

So, with all that in mind, let's take a look at the 10 ASX 200 shares posting the index's biggest gains on Wednesday.
