Along with the 'ups', could we cut down on:

'in terms of' - usually you can remove the 'terms of', leaving a clearer meaning;

'set', as in 'the weather is set to get colder', 'interest rates are set to rise' - as if someone has set it all up and is just waiting for the right moment to push a button or fire a starting gun.
