English term or phrase: industrial cyclical

I can't find anything on the terminology bank of Canada about "industrial cyclical", but found cyclical industry. Here's what they say - A cyclical industry is one in which earnings are particularly sensitive to the business cycle.

Is it the same thing than industrial cyclical?

I think that the text was written a couple of months after 9/11. It's for assignment for a course.

Redressement des secteurs cycliques
Les industries cycliques ont en général des frais relativement fixes. Les entreprises cycliques voient leurs ventes augmenter durant les périodes d’expansion économique, et leurs profits peuvent connaître une croissance exponentielle. Pour certaines entrepri-ses, une augmentation des ventes de 10 % peut faire doubler les profits. Bien sûr, l’opposé est également vrai, d’où les fortes fluctuations que connaissent parfois les bénéfices et les cours des actions des secteurs cycliques.

Les secteurs cycliques européens offrent de solides perspectives de croissance des bénéfices et des investissements, compte tenu du fait que l’expansion économique prévue en Europe devrait se poursuivre en l’an 2000. Nous privilégions particulièrement le secteur du pétrole et ceux de la construction et des matériaux de construction, en raison des taux d’intérêt plus bas et du regain de confiance des consommateurs.

Bien que les secteurs cycliques offrent, à notre avis, les meilleures possibilités de placement en Europe, les pays jouent encore un rôle important dans le choix des titres.

Les conditions qui règnent dans un pays ou les changements qui s’y produisent peuvent influer considérablement sur les profits des entreprises. Par exemple, l’élection d’un gouvernement qui aurait l’intention d’augmenter les impôts pourrait avoir un effet à la baisse sur les cours des actions.
