CD Rates in Louisville
Historically, CD rates increase as the U.S. Treasury’s interest rates increase, and vice versa. As of April 2010, the U.S. Treasury’s interest rates hit their highest since 2008. For CD rates, this is positive news.
Other options for investing include mutual funds, money market accounts, stocks, and bonds. Certificate of deposits often have the highest return for the smallest risk.
Be prepared to have your money locked up for the entire length of the term. CDs are fixed term, meaning your bank can assess fees if you need to access your money before the term is over. Be careful not to invest money you may need in the near future, because accessing it early could cost you a good chunk of the interest you’ve accrued, leaving you with just your principal balance.
