On Wednesday, just after 3 pm, Hungarian pollster Medián — one of the country's most accurate forecasters with a 30-year track record — published an opinion poll showing a 23-point lead for the opposition Tisza Party among voters.
The forint jumped on the news, and the Budapest Stock Exchange saw selling in OPUS Global and 4iG, two companies with deep ties to the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
