NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST) reported today that national averages for CD rates remained virtually unchanged, with the 4-year CD dropping one basis point 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 continue to show little fluctuation as banks await the Federal Reserve's next policy-making meeting that is slated for December. While the central bank could offer a surprise this week in minutes of its previous meeting, most analysts aren't expecting it," reported Joe Deaux, TheStreet's Economics Analyst. "Central bankers recently have hinted at the possibility that the Fed will begin to taper its economic stimulus program in December, but most economists aren't expecting such a move until 2014. Until that occurs, CD rates are stuck."
