Q: Hi 5i, I have a fair bit parked in CASH and PSA, enjoying the decent interest on the funds I dont want to have exposed to market volatility. My question is, if Canadian interest rates drop significantly sooner and/or further than US rates, would it make any sense to move out of CASH or PSA and in to something like HISU.U?

Understand, of course, this introduces the element of currency risk/volatility. But, ignoring that, would this strategy work to continue realizing interest rates of +/- 5% (assuming US holds longer)?

Thanks!
