How Far Do Rates Need to Rise?

You can see there is quite a spread between the short and long-term CDs still. I will probably end up putting these in their own pages or posts. But for now I will feature a few here.

So let’s say you are considering a 1-year or a 3-year. The 1-year is a 0.90% and the 3-year is a 1.25%. If you opt for the 1-year, rates a year from now would need to be a 1.60%, just to make up the difference. In the short-term, a rise like that seems very unlikely.
