And what evidence is there that consumers are wrong and inflation is about to become a problem? Well, borrowing rates for the federal government remain exceedingly low, so bond investors don’t seem concerned http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/business/economy/10leonhardt.html?ref=business --------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK - Stocks and government bonds fell Tuesday as commodities rallied to two-year highs. Silver, soybeans and copper jumped to levels last seen in October 2008 as investors moved money into hard assets in anticipation that a massive economic stimulus plan announced by the Federal Reserve last week will continue to weaken the dollar. Investors are expecting that commodities will hold their value even if the dollar falls. The weakening dollar has been benefiting gold as investors seek other assets seen as safe places to park money. Some gold investors see the metal as a hedge against national currencies losing their value as a result of inflation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/09/AR2010110907850.html [less]
