What would prove it wrong
This reading is sustained if the RPP holds the reference rate at 3.75% on 9 September while deferring to a still-unpublished projection update; it is retired if the Council cuts or explicitly brings forward the mid-2027 return-to-target date from the March round.
Next test
the NBP rate decision on 9 September 2026: a hold with language deferring to the pending projection update leaves the bank-sector bet unresolved; a cut or explicit acceleration of the return-to-target timeline confirms it
