TheStreet and RateWatch Report Top National & Regional CD Rate Issuer

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --  RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. TST reported today that the 2 and 4 year CD averages each increased by one basis point as the Federal Reserve continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.

"Two- and four-year CD rates inched higher spurred by an aggressive European Central Bank, which cut interest rates Thursday and announced large scale bond purchases. Despite weak U.S. job numbers Friday, analysts are increasingly looking for the Federal Reserve to begin raising rates in the first half of 2015," said Dan Freed, Senior Writer for TheStreet.
