Emerging-Market Investors Reshuffle Bets as Indonesia Hikes and Brazil Nears a Cut

Summary
Emerging-market investors are rotating positions as interest-rate paths split more sharply across major developing economies.
Indonesia delivered an off-cycle rate hike within the past week to halt a market selloff and support its currency, while Hungary and Poland are weighing cuts after inflation undershot estimates.
Brazil is expected to lower rates in the coming days, Chile is seen holding steady, and traders are also bracing for policy decisions in the US and Japan.
That widening policy gap is making country-specific rate bets more important across emerging markets, replacing broader one-way positioning.
