As investors flock to bonds, could it be the next bubble?
Biggest fears hover over U.S., deep in recession and facing $1.2-trillion deficit

Barack Obama and other world leaders may be mortgaging their countries' futures by selling a blizzard of bonds to pay for ambitious spending programs designed to resuscitate the global economy. But unlike most borrowers, governments will have no trouble getting the loans they need.
Recent weeks have witnessed a rising tide of concern about a potential "bond bubble" created by governments selling so much debt. Critics say governments will run out of buyers, forcing them to raise interest rates, crippling public finances and sabotaging their own economic revival plans.
The biggest fears hover over the United States, given that the world's largest economy is deep in recession and Washington is facing a $1.2-trillion (U.S.) deficit. What if investors suddenly decide so much new borrowing is folly, and stop buying?

Bonds: the next bubble?
Asset managers Allan Gray and Coronation caution against government bonds.

On Monday, two asset managers released bearish commentary on bonds. Allan Gray's Ian Liddle asks if government bonds are in a bubble.
"Judging by the recent fall in yields on US ten-year government bonds to a low of 2,1%, Mr Market believes that policymakers will tighten monetary policy in time to prevent large-scale inflation," says Liddle. "Perhaps this places more faith in bureaucrats than is warranted.
When you buy a bond, you are locking in a return over a number of years. Thus, bond investors are terribly afraid of inflation.
For example, if US inflation is higher than 2,1% over the next ten years, investors in government bonds will actually end up poorer once their bonds mature.
Liddle hints that it might be a bit much to expect US inflation to be low.
