What the Market Knows

The linked dated disclosures are public. No dated equity-consensus or implied-valuation baseline has been established; publicly disclosed is not equivalent to fully priced.

Potential Expectation Gap

NO CLEAR EXPECTATION GAP established as mispricing. Conditional research question: physical delivery and retained economics may differ from announced demand; test against dated market expectations before concluding.

Sustained lower all-in project financing rates, narrower credit spreads, funded commitments and debt-service coverage offset the policy-rate increase.
