Adding to a rising chorus of analysts warning of a potential bond market crash in 2013, is David Roche, president of Independent Strategy, who says safe-haven government debt is the most "dangerous" asset to own, referring to German bunds, U.K. gilts and U.S. Treasurys.
"This year is going to be a story of the big bond market crash, when the safe haven bond markets go to hell in a handcart…All of these safe haven bond markets are about the most dangerous thing you can hold," Roche told CNBC on Thursday.
Worries about an impending bust in the world's largest sovereign bond market - the U.S. - have heightened following the release of the Federal Reserve's latest minutes on January 4, which hinted that the beginning of the end is in sight for the central bank's ultra-loose monetary policy.
