NEW YORK, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST) reported today that 3 month CD national averages dipped back down to 0.14 from 0.15 this week while national averages for CD rates of all other durations 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 dipped slightly over the past week," said Scott Gamm, reporter with TheStreet.com. "While investors are watching for any clues from the Federal Reserve on a rate hike timeline, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said in a Monday speech in New York that a rise in the fed funds rate will likely come before the end of 2015, but gave no further specifics."
