Where to find top CD yields in the second half as Fed policy remains murky

TL;DR

  • Federal Reserve rate policy and savings yield outlook is uncertain for the second half of the year.
  • Sticky inflation has increased the likelihood of a rate hike rather than cuts.
  • Banks are adjusting deposit rates, with some increasing CD yields while trimming savings account rates.
  • Several banks are offering annual percentage yields of 4% or higher on 1-year CDs and related maturities.
