SINGAPORE: The steepest surge in Indonesia’s two-year government bond yields since 2012 may be a sign that traders are betting on a hike in the policy rate before the central bank’s scheduled meeting at the end of this month.

The two-year yield soared 55 basis points on Tuesday, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. It rose one basis point to 7.65% yesterday.
