NEW YORK - RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: 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.
