TheStreet and RateWatch Report Top National & Regional CD Rate Issuer

NEW YORK, May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. TST reported today that national averages this week for CD rates all durations remained unchanged as the Federal Reserve has continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.

"For the fourth week in a row CD rates remained unchanged, and it appears that savers should become accustomed to this lack of fluctuation. The Fed has backed down from a hard deadline for when it will raise rates, and instead is emphasizing that the central bank will keep rates low for 'considerable' time after it ends the economic stimulus program," reported Joe Deaux, Economics Analyst for TheStreet. "Savers may have to wait until the fall for clues as to the Fed's time table to push up the federal funds rate, which eventually will lead to an increase in CD rates."
