NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2013 /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 remained unchanged this week 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.

"CD rates went unchanged as banks and market participants pause to take action after the central bank announces in December whether it will taper its economic stimulus program. The announcement, set for Wednesday will precede Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's final press conference as head of the central bank," reported Joe Deaux, TheStreet's Economics Analyst. "While most economists are forecasting so-called tapering to arrive in March, many are predicting such action this month on the heels of a raft of better-than-expected U.S. economic data. A taper would trigger the beginning of many moves by the Fed that eventually would lead to it raising key interest rates."
