Today was a wobbly one for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO). It jumped in and out of the green over the course of Monday before ultimately closing 0.16% lower at 7,481.7 points.

That was despite a 2.3% gain posted by the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ). The sector's strong performance followed a 1% overnight lift from the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC).

Also trading in the green was the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Index (ASX: XTJ). It rose 1.1% led by the Seek Ltd (ASX: SEK) share price's 4.5% surge.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) weighed heavy, falling 0.7%. Its biggest fall was posted by the ResMed Inc (ASX: RMD) share price, which dropped 6.8% on the back of the company's latest quarterly update.

But while the broader ASX 200 struggled on Monday, some of its constituents soared. Let's take a look at the 10 shares that outperformed all others today.
