<<So it looks to me that the bond's are going to force the FED to raise at least 1/4 pt.>>

TTOSBT, I don't know whether you are aware of this but the Fed does not change long-term interest rates. Those rates are entirely market driven. The Fed's direct effect is purely short-term; they do have the pulpit and the long-term bonds react to the Fed's stance.

TTFN,
