CD Valet data since that decision show the upward movement in CD rates continuing with slight acceleration.

The number of CDs offering at least 4.00% APY rose from 6,566 on October 13 to 7,673 on November 1. Further, there are 75 CD rates now offering 5.00% or more.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Savers now look ahead to the Fed\u2019s next move on December 8-9, which will depend heavily on inflation, employment and economic growth. As of November 1, the CME Fed Watch Tool projects a 72% chance of a rate hike to the 4.00 percent to 4.25 percent range.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inflation: Energy Sets The Pace<\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Inflation moved higher again in September, and the next inflation report is due on November 10. It will be the last inflation reading prior to the Fed\u2019s December meeting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Consumer Price Index increased 0.6 percent in September after rising 0.4 percent in August, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the previous 12 months, headline inflation increased 3.7 percent, up from 3.4 percent in August.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Energy continues to play a major role in the monthly increase. Gasoline prices rose 9.1 percent in September and is up 34.2 percent over the year. It accounts for more than half of the month\u2019s increase.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With Middle East tensions unresolved, energy continues to be the key factor in rising inflation.

The unemployment rate increased to 4.2 percent from 4.1 percent in August, showing weak hiring and wages rising more slowly than prices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The next jobs report will be released on Friday, November 6. While layoff news seems more frequent, the data is expected to show that more companies are not hiring versus a wave of firings. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">For the week ended October 24, the Labor Department reported 194,000 first-time claims (seasonally adjusted), down from a revised 195,000 the week.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic Growth: Still Expanding<\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On November 2, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta\u2019s GDPNow model estimated real GDP growth at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.7 percent for the fourth quarter.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The latest update suggests consumer spending remains a source of strength in the economy. Personal consumption appears firm, while inventory investment is contributing somewhat less to projected growth than previously estimated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line: CD Rates Could Rise Further<\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Persistent inflation, continued economic growth and only light softening in the labor market continue to support the possibility of higher interest rates. CD Valet data also show upward momentum in deposit pricing, with 94% of existing-rate changes moving higher as of November 1.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For CD savers, that makes maturity an increasingly important part of choosing an investment. Locking in a rate can protect yield if rates eventually decline, but choosing a longer maturity also creates more risk of missing future increases. Because modest rate changes may produce relatively small differences in dollar returns, savers should weigh the available yield, the maturity date and when they will need access to their money.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Lock in a CD Rate Now?<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">For many savers, yes. Today\u2019s top CD rates are some of the best they\u2019ve been in the last few years, and there\u2019s little reason to wait. The best 12- and 24-month CDs on CD Valet pay around 4.50% APY, compared with a median of just 3.30%. With inflation at 3.7% in September, a top CD still beats rising prices by about 0.8 percentage points. An average CD doesn\u2019t. Rates have also been rising even while the Fed held steady in October: top 12- and 24-month rates rose 0.20 percentage points in the past month. Waiting for the Fed may mean watching the best offers get away. Nearly half of the CDs on CD Valet\u2019s site are promotional specials, which often don\u2019t last long.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Many savers are tempted to wait for the Fed\u2019s possible rate hike on December 9, but the payoff from waiting may be smaller than it looks. A hike would likely be a quarter point, and much of it is already reflected in today\u2019s rates. One sign: the best 12- and 24-month CDs already pay more than the best 6-month CDs, which suggests banks expect rates to stay higher for a while. Rates could also move the other way. Hiring has slowed sharply, with just 29,000 jobs added in September. If the job market weakens further (and quickly), the Fed could pause or even cut rates in 2027, and savers who locked in would come out ahead.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">CDs that promise to let you benefit from rising rates, like bump-up CDs, can be worth a look. Do the math first, though. Bump-up CDs usually start at a lower rate than the best fixed-rate CDs, and you typically get just one increase, which depends on your bank raising its own rates. A two-year bump-up CD starting at 4.00% APY would need to jump well above today\u2019s top rates, and early in the term, just to match locking in 4.50% APY now. Bump-ups can make sense mainly when their starting rate is within about a quarter point of the best fixed rates.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you can\u2019t decide, you don\u2019t have to choose all or nothing. A CD ladder, with money split across terms such as 6, 12 and 24 months, locks in today\u2019s strong rates on part of your savings and keeps the rest free to reinvest soon if rates keep climbing. <\/span>Consider using the<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/cd-yield-curve\">CD Yield Curve<\/a>,<\/span> or the yields on U.S. Treasuries, and available <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/best-6-month-cd-rates\">6-<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/best-12-month-cd-rates\">12-<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/best-24-month-cd-rates\">24-<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/best-3-year-cd-rates\">36-<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdvalet.com\/best-5-year-cd-rates\">60-month<\/a><\/span> terms to research yields before selecting a maturity.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which CD Terms Are Rising Fastest?<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\">Rates across the broader CD market continue to move higher, with 9<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\">4%<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\"> of existing<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\">rate changes <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\">showing increases<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\"> (as of November 1)<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW254305289 BCX0\">.
