imho (but it might be fact I'm not sure): The direction and timing of interest rates are not certainties. If they were, then everybody would be rich from playing the bond market.
I suspect there are guidelines and limits on the extent to which the city would have been legally allowed to "play the market" as far as timing the interest rates (could they legally/ethically wait a month or two anticipating that rates would go one way or the other?). That is a dangerous game - it's basically gambling.
