BMO EQL WGT GBL BASE METAL HEG CAD ETF (ZMT-T)

Base metals ETF?

An equal-weighted ETF including Hudbay, Lundin and First Quantum as the top holdings or 20% of the portfolio. Diversified and includes some smaller-cap names.

Inflation is coming down and will some more. But the fantasy of 2% inflation is unlikely, as long-term inflation is over 3%. Over a larger cycle, base metals are good for a long-term inflation hedge. As well, if you believe the NASDAQ is heading for its day of reckoning, this has no correlation to that index.

Excellent technical trends right now.
Going upwards, so why not buy more.
Will be a short term watch. 

Thinks there is a play in steel, although this is no longer early. Would play the steel play through ZMT. Stelco is a good name here although it has already had a good run. 10% range correction is possible. Use the past corrections as a guideline for entry.

ZMT has been a holding since mid last year. It has steel, aluminum, copper and other base metal mining holdings. The infrastructure re-building will see steel playing a big part. REMX focuses in rare earths. Would go with the larger base metal play than just base metals.

Playing the commodity side is quite tough since you have to deal with futures contracts. For copper, play the copper miners and ETFs like COPX. He prefers ZMT, which is broader base metals. There is a reflation trade and electrification of the world. Copper is crucial in this.
