What would prove it wrong
This reading would be overturned by evidence that the bank-equity rally was driven by something other than an inflation-path bet, for example if the July NBP projection round, once published, confirms only a modest upward revision consistent with the March path rather than the materially higher path the desk's data flags as expected, or if bank-specific factors (fiscal, capital, single-name news) are shown to explain the 27 July move instead.
Next test
the Poland CPI flash estimate (GUS) due 30 July 2026 at 10:00 UTC, and the NBP's July projection round once published

How it settled
The referee is correct: as of filing, the July NBP projection had not been published and CPI flash data don't arrive until 30 July, so the reading's inflation-path bet was untestable against the specified falsifier; moreover the 28 July WIG-BANKI move (+0.58%, flat/mixed) fails to confirm continuation of the 27 July rally, undermining the original inference.
