We keep it simple and transparent
Despite comments in late August by Fed Chair, Janet Yellen, and NY Fed President, William Dudley, regarding a September rate hike, it didn’t happen. The FOMC wrapped up their meeting yesterday and decided to leave the fed funds rate unchanged. The FOMC did telegraph one rate hike in 2016 which will likely come during the Fed’s December meeting, after the election. A likely 0.25 percent rate hike in December would put the fed funds rate in a range of 0.50 percent to 0.75 percent. A 0.25 percent increase is not enough to entice banks to increase deposit rates. As we have reported for the past many years, any large increases in savings rates or money market rates will have to wait until the Fed makes a more significant increase to the fed fund rate. Currently, the best savings rate in our database is at 1.25 percent with a yield of 1.26 percent from Popular Direct. A 1.25 percent savings rate is on par with the highest 1 year CD rate in our database currently at 1.30 percent. The highest MMA yield in our database is a promotional rate from EverBank at 1.11 percent. The likelihood of savings rates and money market rates moving higher has increased as a result of some recent Fed comments. The Fed Chairperson, Janet Yellen, and the NY Fed President, William Dudley, both made comments this week that a fed fund rate hike is possible soon. In a speech on Friday, Yellen said a rate hike this year is still on the table. “I believe the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened in recent months.” William Dudley also commented on Friday suggesting a rate hike is possible as soon as the Fed’s September meeting. He said the Fed is “edging closer towards the point in time where it will be appropriate I think to raise interest rates further.” Strong economic news is the key to a rate hike in September or the two remaining meetings scheduled in 2016. A really strong employment report for August will be the catalyst for a fed funds rate hike in September. It’s unlikely the Fed will increase rates during the November meeting, which is less then a week before the fall election. If we don’t see a rate hike in September, the last chance for a hike in 2016 will be the during the December meeting. A hike in September or December will only be 25 basis points and would put the fed funds rate at 0.75 percent. It’s highly unlikely the Fed will hike in both September and December. The fed funds rate at 0.75 percent might entice banks to increase deposit rates. It is doubtful we will see any banks or credit unions increasing their rates by 25 basis points. A more likely increase will be only around 5 to 10 basis points, which would put the best savings rates or money market rates around 1.25 percent. In the meantime, the current highest savings rates in our database are at 1.05 percent and the highest money market rates are at 1.11 percent. Right now you can get a slightly higher rate on a 1 year certificate of deposit. The best 1 year CD rates in our database are at 1.30 percent.

Savings rates and money market rates remain stable in our Deposit Rate Report for August 2, 2016. There have been some rate changes since our last deposit rate report but no new highs to report. As expected, the FOMC didn’t increase the fed funds rate during their meeting last week. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for September 20-21 but it’s unlikely the FOMC will increase the rate during that meeting.
