The important point is that they are on the move...higher. It's double what it was a year ago.

I just did a quick check on depositaccounts.com and these 2% rates for 10 years are significantly higher than any they are showing.

5 year Treasury is at 1.61% right now. Safer and no state income taxes.

I think there are number organizations with an institutional memory that goes back more than a dozen years who would love to lock in borrowing 2% money for a decade.

For me, as a lender, there is no way I am going for 2% for ten years. Not when we have inflation racing at 7%. One year of 7% inflation, and 3.5 years of the 10 years' 2% earning is gone. I'm willing to hunker down at 0.4 to 1% for another year just to see if I can do better. If not, well.... that's why I own common stock index funds. Eventually, they should save the day.

How long does it take for CD yields to catch-up with inflation?

Think of price of gas at the pump - falls slowly but goes up quickly. CD yields work the same ... in reverse. The banks aren't going to offer more yield until competitive forces push them to do it.

They are not tied to inflation strictly speaking. They are more related to other interest rates, which may exceed or trail inflation rates for a long time.

In some ways, worrying that cds may not beat inflation misses the point. The point is to earn the highest safe yield, and understand that such yields often do not exceed inflation.

Got a targeted e-mail from Marcus today. Deposit at least $10,000 into an online savings account by 2/16/22, leave it for 90 days, and get $100. I get the 0.6 percent AARP rate, so that would be a nice bonus. Just as soon as I finish my i-bond deposit for the year...

New or existing customers - not targeted.

In the time period of the mid 1970's to early 1980's we had high inflation, often double digits. Ugh.

CD and Treasury yields never matched inflation especially after taxes. But they also did not lag it as badly as they lag now. Today, other than the iBonds, rates are being kept down while inflation is going through the roof. That's what makes this time very bad. IIRC, I remember Treasuries and CD rates in the high single digits. I even bought one Treasury over 10%.

Take a look at the chart of one year t-bill rates on this website;

https://www.macrotrends.net/2492/1-y...te-yield-chart

One example: November 1979, about 12%.

A bit over three years ago you could still get over 2.5%.

Today's rates are pathetic.

The A++ MYGA from New York Life for 5 years soon to be 2.0%.
Somewhat apples to apples if going to maturity.

Not sure why I would want to commit to anything longer than a year when FED has 3-4 planned rate hikes and $9T of bonds to possibly sell.

Fact is, I have some existing CDs at 3.4 pct, some I-bonds at 7 pct and a lot of plain old cash earning 1 percent. Seems right for now.

Very similar position here. Penfed cd's at 3.5%. Andrews FCU cd's at 3.0% approx, obtained a few years ago.. And I just checked current Andrews CD rates and I could not believe it. 7 year cd rate is 0.3%. Can that be right?

Pssh! We just got word that a flipper loan we have out at 10% is paying off. Set up a T-Mobile money account to take care of some at a whole 1% - so in a year it will earn about what it was making in a month. ooogg.

Yep, I just confirmed it. The Andrews 7 year CD rate is 0.3% per year. Yes, Zero point three percent. Don't know what their game is, but I suppose I don't have to know, lol. Won't be stashing any cabbage there.

They will catch a lot of old folks auto-renewing their CD's and not paying attention.
I've seen this before at other banks.
