Over the past few months, some experts believed that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in 2025. Rate cuts have become more uncertain lately in the face of a consistently rising inflation rate.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports next week that inflation increased for a fifth-straight month in February, the Fed could extend its rate pause even further. However, if the inflation report offers positive news, rate cuts may be on the way in 2025 and, if that happens, CD rates could end up lower than they are now later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this environment, locking in an 18-month CD with a $20,000 deposit now provides peace of mind. Waiting to see where rates go likely won&#8217;t be worth the risk, and the time you spend waiting is time you could&#8217;ve used to open a CD and started earning big returns.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The top 18-month CDs are offering rates of at least 4.10% right now, which means you can earn more than $1,200 at maturity if you deposit $20,000 today. Knowing that you&#8217;ve got those returns coming provides peace of mind amid uneasiness about the economy. As you search for a CD that fits your needs, remember to compare rates from multiple issuers and review a prospective CD&#8217;s early withdrawal rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jr-duren\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">J.R.
