The pressure is definitely there, but I believe international currency concerns will keep the Fed's stand as neutral. Higher implied rates would only further unbalance the 3 currency blocks. Anyway, what is desired is higher rates and as long as they keep moving higher and above 6% the Fed should be happy.

If you have not discovered this thread John, you might enjoy the discussion. Why not ask Henry this question on 3 month bills. He is a professional Bond and derivatives trader with an international firm.

Crude oil is topping out right here... although food and energy prices are not factored into the equation as markets with a long term bias, I have to think that the Feds look at these markets anyhow... in general, the CRB index is about to break below 200.....
