This Tuesday, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) and many ASX shares had another successful day of trading.

After a decent start to the week yesterday, investors stepped up their buying, with the ASX 200 adding 0.34% today. That brings the index up to 8,249.2 points.

This happy Tuesday for the Australian markets follows a strong start to the American trading week in the early hours of this morning.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) hit the ground running, bouncing 0.65% higher.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn't quite as enthusiastic, but still vaulted up 0.26%.

But let's return to the ASX and take stock of how the different ASX sectors fared during today's good mood on the markets.

Winners and losers

We only had a few sectors that missed out on a rise today.

First up were energy shares. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) had a rather negative day, dropping 0.67%.

Healthcare shares weren't in form either. The S&P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index (ASX: XHJ) slid down 0.32%.

Communications stocks round out our losers, as you can see from the S&P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index (ASX: XTJ)'s 0.3% slip.

Turning to the far more numerous winners now, gold shares came out on top today. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (ASX: XGD) soared up 1.87%.
