Saver Has Advantage in Yields Across Financial Sources
Sylvia Porter notes savers can earn up to 11 percent annually at small banks with minimum deposits for 30 days or more. Major banks and mutuals offer 4 to 5 percent with required deposits. Treasury notes yield about 4 percent to 4.25 with 3 to 4 years maturity. U.S. Savings Bonds offer 1.8 to 2 percent if held to maturity. The Federal Reserve raised the discount rate to 4.43 percent and capped bank time-deposit rates to curb inflation, while warning institutions to be prudent amid a cash-saving surge. The situation creates a wide gap between stock returns and cash yields, challenging savers to shop for the best rates.
