The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) ended the week on a high, rising 0.51% to finish the session at 7,361.6 points – its highest close since early March. That also leaves it 1.98% higher week-on-week.

It followed a strong session over on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) rose 1.1% overnight while the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) jumped 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) surged 2%.

Back home, the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index (ASX: XFJ) was among the top-performing sectors on Friday, lifting 0.8% despite potentially disappointing news of Bank of Queensland Ltd (ASX: BOQ)'s upcoming earnings.

Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) rose 0.9%. The sector's strong session came amid near-record high gold prices – gold futures gained 1.5% overnight to reach US$2,055.30 an ounce.

But not all was green on the Aussie bourse today. The S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) slipped 0.3%.

So, with all that in mind, let's take a look at the 10 ASX 200 shares ending the week with the biggest gains.
