The MS Cyclical Index ($CYC) is quite interest rate sensitive; and thus prone to large corrections witness the past 7 year history of which there are two very distinct 30% corrections. Hence, given short-term rates are rising, we believe that the index is in the midst of another such correction that over the next year will carry the index lower by over 20%. A top has formed, and thus rallies should be sold or sold shortwhile dips should not be bought.
