NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 during the week despite a sharp drop in oil prices and otherwise unremarkable economic data. The oil price drop is seen as mostly positive for the economy since it typically leads to a rise in spending on other items," said Dan Freed, Senior Staff Reporter for TheStreet.
