Why would a dollar bond affect local-currency Indonesian government bond yields?
Dollar bonds can influence local yields if they signal the issuer's credit risk or alter overall debt supply dynamics. The market rout also reflects broader risk aversion that spills into local bonds.
Should investors expect a sustained rise in Indonesian bond yields?
Not necessarily; if the market stabilizes and the bond pricing is seen as a success, yields might retrace. The short-term spike could be temporary.
