As we navigate the economic landscape in May, savers face a pivotal moment. With the Federal Reserve holding rates steady at 4.25% to 4.50% at the May meeting, market forecasters are projecting July will be the start of three rate reductions in 2025. This narrows the window to lock in a high-yield certificate of deposit (CD).
