Indonesia rupiah jumps 3 per cent to strongest in 2 months

The rupiah advanced as much as 3.2 per cent to 13,425 per dollar, its strongest since July 29. The Indonesian unit pared some of gains to stand at 13,500 as of 0133 GMT.
Indonesia's bonds offer higher yields than most other emerging Asian countries' debt.
