In the London Times, we find a discussion of UBS's recent trading losses:

[UBS] continued to buy government bonds early in the third quarter on the expectation that the Federal Reserve would carry on raising rates.

In words of one syllable: high rates mean low prices [oops]. A buyer wants price to rise. [In fact, UBS shorted the bonds.]

Presumably journalists of all stripes possess this kind of expertise in their specialties. Just imagine.
