A day after posting its worst session since September 2020, the ASX 200 got back on the horse in Friday trade with a gain of more than 1% to end the week.
By sector, ASX 200 Energy stocks outperformed as oil prices continue to push higher amid lingering supply constraints.
The big banks also had a strong session, while the iron ore majors all rose by more than 2%.
The tech sector, which got absolutely belted on Thursday, also regained a little bit of ground although the ASX 200 Information Technology index remains well off its post-COVID highs reached in November.

While the prospect of higher bond yields and interest rate rises gave tech investors the jitters this week, there was still plenty of juice left in largely pre-revenue semiconductor technology company Brainchip (ASX:BRN).
Following another ramp higher on Tuesday and Wednesday , the stock is trading back near $1 which values the company at around $1.5bn. Outside of a new board appointment — Pia Turcinov as Non-Executive Director — recent BRN news flow has been relatively light.
Also among the leaders on Friday was $9.3bn private health company Medibank Private (ASX:MPL), which jumped by around 5% on no news.
Among stocks with updates, lithium standout Lake Resources (ASX:LKE) led the pack with another strong gain (although the news only related to the exercise of unlisted options).
