The Cyclical-to-S&P 500 Ratio

I’ve often talked about the under-performance of cyclical stocks. Here’s a look at the Morgan Stanley Cyclical Index (^CYC) divided by the S&P 500. When the line is rising, cyclicals are out-performing. When the line is falling, cyclicals are trailing the market.

The ratio has plunged from 0.844 on February 11th to 0.705 on August 19th.
