(Bloomberg) — China’s bonds look set to be the only ones to dodge a global fixed-income rout this month, as its central bank persists with an easing stance to shield the economy from a worsening Covid outbreak.

Chinese debt has gained 0.3% in April on a currency-hedged basis, while all other markets that make up FTSE Russell’s World Government Bond Index have seen losses, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
