TheStreet and RateWatch Report Top National & Regional CD Rate Issuers

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. TST reported today that national averages for CD rates of all durations this week remained unchanged as the Federal Reserve continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.

 "CD rates were unchanged as the stock and bond markets settled down a bit following the Dec. 17 Fed meeting, where U.S. central bank officials signaled they are in no hurry to raise interest rates," said Dan Freed, Senior Staff Reporter for TheStreet.com.
