Indonesian assets rebounded after officials stepped up efforts to reassure foreign investors, driving the rupiah to its biggest gain in more than a year while easing pressure on bonds and lifting stocks. The 10-year yield fell 15 basis points on Wednesday to 7.26% after climbing as much as 64 basis points in the past two days. The rupiah strengthened as much as 0.9%, while the benchmark stock index rose 3.4%. Central bank governor Perry Warjiyo led a call with US and European investors late Tuesday to take questions on the rate increase and was set to hold another one on Wednesday morning in Asia.
