According to Thackray’s 2010 Investors Guide, the seasonality for the Industrials Sector is limited to Market Perform, implying that a period of strength that would garner results greater than the correlating benchmark is non-existent. The sector is a virtual barometer of real GDP growth in the U.S. The sector moves higher when expectations for economic growth are positive and moves lower when expectations are negative.
