Before bonds were traded in the futures market, gold was the primary market for any inflation hedge... but, since bonds are now being traded on the Chicago Board of Trade, this has become a far more reliable instrument as a hedge... first of all, it's a pure market play since supply and demand moves are 100% linked to inflation fears... gold can move lower after a rally even in the face of inflationary pressures because of an increase of supply to the market, Russia for example, much like oil and the OPEC members who want to dump at higher prices..... this is less likely to happen in the bond market.....

This is presuming that an inflation hedge is your underlying concern.....
