CD Rates Continue to Move Higher in 2018

CD rates in 2018 continue to move as banks and credit unions increase rates. Interest rates have been increasing since December 2016, when the Federal Reserve started increasing the fed funds rate. Since then, the Fed has increased the fed funds rate four times for a total of 100 basis points. You can see a list of fed funds rate changes going back to 2003 at The Fed - Open Market Operations.
