Q: During the next 12 months I think the $us will appreciate against $cad because of the pending US rate hike and oil will be depressed a while longer. Do you agree with this thesis and if so I want to play this using ZLU. I don't have any $us, so to avoid currency conversion fees I chose ZLU. My concern with ZLU is 50% of the etf is in staples and utilities. I think these two sectors may not exhibit low volatility over the next year with the pending rate hike, high p/e's and possible fund flows to other sectors. Are my concerns justified and if so can you suggest an alternative play to capitalize on a weak $cad. Thank you.
