The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) traded in the red on Tuesday, falling 0.21% to close at 7,336.3 points.

Its dip came amid a particularly busy earnings season session, with more than a dozen market giants posting results.

Among them were BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL), and Tabcorp Holdings Limited (ASX: TAH).

Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of Australia released the minutes of its February meeting, stating it didn't even consider not hiking rates earlier this month. Instead, the central bank debated between a 0.25% rise and a 0.5% rise.

The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) was today's top-performing sector, rising 0.6% despite the BHP share price sliding on the mining giant's first-half earnings.

Though, many of the company's iron ore-focused peers posted strong gains amid one top broker's positive outlook for the steel-making ingredient's price.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Communications Index (ASX: XTJ) weighed heaviest, falling 1.2%.

But which ASX 200 shares posted the biggest gain on the index today? Let's take a look.
