Stagnant interest rates and a flat yield curve are affecting the advice that local financial consultants give to clients who are interested in the bond and certificate of deposit markets.
The Federal Reserve announced last week that interest rates will hold at 5.25 percent and that isn't expected to change any time soon, according to industry analysts. This has caused the rate for long-term investments, those with a 30-year maturity date, to be relatively the same as the rate for short-term investments, such as those with a five-year maturity date. This situation is known as a flat yield curve.

We use individual credit union data on deposit categories and their associated interest rates to measure the effect of interest rate changes on the growth rates of total shares and five of its subcomponents. After controlling for credit union size, previous growth, and market interest rates, we find that while total share growth is related to individual credit union regular share and money market rates, it is most affected by share certificate rates. With the exception of share drafts, the growth in other deposit categories is significantly affected by the interest rate a credit union offers for those particular accounts. Finally, we provide evidence that, in general, the growth rate of a deposit...

CHICAGO -- Bad news for savers: The national average rate on checking, savings and other deposit accounts has dipped below the 1 percent mark for the first time in at least 10 years -- and doesn't appear headed higher anytime soon, according to an analysis by Market Rates Insight.
Not surprisingly, the woeful state of the economy is the culprit: A "strong and significant negative relationship" between unemployment and the interest rates paid on consumers' deposits has reared its ugly head, San Anselmo, Calif.-based MRI said.
