Fed Rate Cuts Fail to Dent Attractive Cash Yields Across Savings and Fixed-Income Options
Fed Rate Cuts Fail to Dent Attractive Cash Yields Across Savings and Fixed-Income Options

BTCCSquare news:
Despite the Federal Reserve's December rate cut, yields on cash instruments remain stubbornly high—creating rare opportunities for risk-averse investors. Top-tier high-yield savings accounts still deliver up to 5.00% APY, with CDs locking in rates at 4.50%. The stability premium persists across Treasury bills (4.82%) and brokerage cash sweeps (3%+), defying the typical correlation with Fed moves.
This yield resilience reflects delayed repricing in deposit products and strong demand for short-term instruments. Savers face an unusual asymmetry: falling benchmark rates haven't yet compressed returns on liquid assets. The window for capturing these pre-cut yields may narrow as banks adjust their pricing in Q1.
