THESTREET, INC. 
By NEW YORK, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RateWatch, a premier banking data and analytics service owned by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST) reported today that national averages this week for CD rates all durations remained unchanged as the Federal Reserve has continued to keep the short-term federal funds rate at a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008.

"Changes in CD rates are dormant as savers wait another week to hear the Fed's update on the federal funds rate," reported Joe Deaux, TheStreet's Economics Analyst. "Comments last week by Chair Janet Yellen suggested that the Fed won't rush to raise interest rates; however, the Fed likely will stay on track to boost rates in 2015 unless economic conditions change meaningfully."
