    I wonder if they'll wait for a push towards 165. The market seems to be testing their resolve and the actual level might be less important than the rate of ascent.

    It's definitely not just about speed anymore, although that's always a factor. I think 162-163 feels like a line in the sand for them, especially with the rhetoric ramping up.
