TheStreet and RateWatch Report Top National & Regional CD Rate Issuer
NEW YORK, May 20, 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 of 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 fifth-straight week CD rates remained unchanged. The Fed emerges midweek with its latest policy statement, which investors are closely watching for specific language as to when the central bank will consider raising the benchmark interest rate," reported Joe Deaux, TheStreet's Economics Analyst. "Until the Fed delivers direct guidance on rates, savers should be prepared to wait longer for CD rates to swell."
