"The market thinks" I have a feeling the "market" is going to get it wrong.....
I look for rates to climb well into 2023.

Where do you see this?

I’m seeing 1.99% on 8/2 on the Fidelity website: https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mu...risk/31617H805

So here is something I just don't get. I am a Schwab guy and prefer to keep my dollars under one roof if nothing else to just keep things simple. Part of my plan has me holding about mid 6 figures in cash equivalents. About a year ago I opened up a Marcus HYSA (towards the top of competitors at the time for both HYSAs and MMKT accts) to get some yield on those funds since Schwab had nothing to compete with Marcus. Fast forward to today, now Schwab's SWVXX (MMKT) is yielding 1.99% and Marcus is at 1.50%? Looking at the recent history, SWVXX did not start showing any real equivalent yield until end of June. Can someone explain to me why these HYSAs and MMKTs do not move more in tandem, especially in a rising interest rate environment? So now, I'm inclined to move my cash back to SWVXX and perhaps keep a small amount in Marcus to keep that account open in the event I need to switch back. I hate to micromanage chasing yield, but a .50% pop on $600K might buy an extra steak dinner from time to time. How anal do you all get in chasing yield on cash?

The research pages are behind. I have the fund and it reports the yield daily. As of this morning it says 2.08%.

Edit, if you click on your link, it also says 2.08%.

The 5 and 10 year treasury rates have dropped, not risen, so looking for longer rates to rise significantly may be futile until 5 and 10 year treasuries move back up again.

All the rising action is in the short end right now - 1 month to 2 years.

Got it. You were seeing the 8/3 yield. The site I linked to was showing the 8/2 yield when I looked. It looks like there’s a delay before the page I referenced is updated. Thanks!

Check out Vanguard's money market (and sweep account) rates. They are changing constantly (which is why I'm not posting, the info might be incorrect by tomorrow) but appear to be up, i.e. in the 2% range.

Correct. The short end is rising. Intermediates have dropped. The time to buy in the 5-10 year range was about 6-7 weeks ago when rates spiked. I was buying munis around 4.5%. Today those same durations are around 3.7%.

Five years at 3.2%. Inflation is currently raging at 9% for the 12 months ending in June.

If I was a banker, I would take that bet.

Announced this morning 8/4, American Express High Yield Savings moves to 1.4% from 1.25% announced on 7/29. This matches Live Oak Bank, which has been at this rate since mid-June.

Coincidentally, while not matching Treasury yields, Live Oak does offer a 1-year CD at 2.50%. With a $2500 minimum to open.

Amex Bank has a different structure for CDs that pays less for 18-, 36-. and 48-months by 1% or more. 1-year CD is 2.25%, 18-months 1.00% etc (see the link below). 5-year CD is 3.0% roughly matching PenFed. No minimum to open, but early withdrawal penalties are stiff.

This whole thing just gets more interesting for internet-based banks.
