EITHER China's bond investors know something about the nation's cash-strapped developers that global funds have missed or they are exporting a leverage-driven rally.

Dollar-denominated notes from China's property companies and other high-yield issuers jumped 5.5 per cent in October, the best month since February 2012, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch index. The yield premium on Evergrande Real Estate Group Ltd's 2018 bond over US Treasuries dropped 193 basis points in October to 708, near the lowest since January 2014.
