WIG-BANKI's five-session decline into 10 August, against a still-rising WIG20, suggests the sector's rate-cut premise is starting to unwind before the NBP's overdue July projection round has even been published to test it.
- What would prove it wrong
- This reading would be undercut if the NBP's coming July projection round confirms the March round's mid-2027 return-to-target path (rather than pushing it to 2027 Q4 or later), or if WIG-BANKI's five-session decline reverses once the 17 August CPI final print and 18 August wages data are published, removing the divergence from WIG20.
- Next test
- The NBP's July projection round, once published: a return-to-target date held at mid-2027 or earlier would sustain the rate-cut premise; a shift to 2027 Q4 or later would undercut it.

- How it settled
- The premise of a WIG-BANKI decline diverging from a 'still-rising WIG20' no longer holds: on 13 August WIG20 fell 1.44% (steeper than WIG-BANKI's 0.26% drop) and WIG20's five-session change is now -0.39% versus WIG-BANKI's -0.82%, so WIG20 is not 'still-rising' and the divergence structure underpinning the sector-unwind thesis has broken.
