NEW YORK, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST) reported today that the 2 year CD national average increased from 0.56 to 0.57 this week as all other durations remained unchanged while the Federal Reserve continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.
"The 2-year CD rate saw a slight increase this week," said Scott Gamm, TheStreet Economics Reporter. "Also on Tuesday, bond yields reached their highest level in six months, sending stocks lower. Investors are on-edge over when the Federal Reserve will raise short-term interest rates, but will be watching key data on consumer spending, which is released on Wednesday morning. The central bank has reiterated that economic data will drive its rate hike decisions."
