before the rate hike yesterday, several banks were running specials on 27,37, and 47 month cds. 24 month was .8%. 27 month was 2.4% just struck me as odd having that big of a difference between the two, even though one is only 3 months longer than the other. This was the case at at least 2 banks, might have been three, i cant remember for sure. Is there any explanation for this? I just had a small amount of money i wanted to have available in a certain time frame, and i cant find any other low risk place to put it for now.





4 week Treasury last week was around 2.7 %
8 week around 2.9%

No state income tax on these.


Can you explain how the 4/8/13/26/52 Treasury Bills work? Is there a risk of losing money? Or is it a guaranteed 2.7% return on your money?
They are purchased at a discount to face value, and when held to maturity, redeemed at face value, the difference is the yield. The risk is if rates turn around before maturity, and you run into a cash flow pinch and need to sell, you’ll take a direct, proportional hit to the decrease in rate.
