And what should existing CD account holders do if they have an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cd-account-matures-may-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">account set to mature this May<\/a><\/span> or later this year? With a cut to the federal funds rate looking increasingly likely for June or July and, thus, a cut to what savers can earn with a CD, some may be wondering about their next steps. Specifically, should you renew your maturing CD account if rate cuts look likely? In many circumstances, it can still be the smart and cost-effective move. Below, we&#8217;ll explain why.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/cbsint_a10ef_cbsnews?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bankrate.com%2Flanding%2Fcbsnews%2Fbest-cd-options%2F%3Fsub-id%3Dwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fshould-renew-maturing-cd-account-rate-cuts&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fshould-renew-maturing-cd-account-rate-cuts%2F&amp;event_type=click&amp;article_id=e66c4477-10e0-4185-9154-761fb36241e6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow, sponsored, noopener\">See how much interest you could earn with a high-rate CD online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Should you renew your maturing CD account if rate cuts look likely?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sure, Fed rate cuts look imminent. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/markets\/interest-rates\/cme-fedwatch-tool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch<\/a> tool has a cut listed at around a 30% likelihood for June and around 75% for July. But that shouldn&#8217;t discourage savers from renewing their maturing CD accounts. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The rate cut trajectory could easily change<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Optimism from borrowers was high last September when the Fed issued a larger-than-anticipated <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fed-rate-cut-decision-federal-reserve-interest-rates-september-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">50 basis point cut<\/a><\/span> to its benchmark interest rate. And that optimism remained in the final months of the year when the central bank issued additional cuts in November and December. But that rate cut campaign was halted when inflation became problematic again, and now rates will remain the same for at least the first half of 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the rate cut trajectory could easily change in the weeks and months ahead. So, avoiding a high-rate CD account on a &#8220;maybe,&#8221; particularly when rates are still available close to 5% now, doesn&#8217;t make sense for savers. Instead, many would benefit from <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/should-you-renew-your-maturing-cd-account-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">renewing their maturing CD accoun<\/a><\/span>t with a new one, which will allow them to earn high returns regardless of what happens in the broader rate climate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/cbsint_a10ef_cbsnews?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bankrate.com%2Flanding%2Fcbsnews%2Fbest-cd-options%2F%3Fsub-id%3Dwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fshould-renew-maturing-cd-account-rate-cuts&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fshould-renew-maturing-cd-account-rate-cuts%2F&amp;event_type=click&amp;article_id=e66c4477-10e0-4185-9154-761fb36241e6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow, sponsored, noopener\">Get started with a CD online today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rate cuts, when they come, are likely to be small<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The rate cut issued last fall was an anomaly and shouldn&#8217;t be expected to be repeated in the same increment anytime soon, barring any major economic factors that cause the Fed to become more aggressive. In other words, when a rate cut is issued again, it&#8217;s likely to be by just 25 basis points, which won&#8217;t do much to reduce today&#8217;s CD rate offers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cumulatively, however, interest rate cuts will add up over time, so it makes sense to offset this by opening the highest-rate long-term CD available now. Consider speaking to your current bank (and review <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/should-you-open-a-cd-account-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">online<\/a><\/span> ones) to determine which will be better for your maturing funds now, so you&#8217;re ready to act when the account moves into its <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cd-grace-periods-everything-savers-should-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">grace period<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>You&#8217;ll lose the interest-earning opportunity in the interim<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Emptying your maturing CD account to put it somewhere else only really makes sense if you urgently need access to the funds \u2026 or if you have somewhere equally as beneficial to store it. But the alternatives right now are not nearly as good as another CD will be, even if rates look like they may be cut soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/high-yield-savings-account\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">High-yield savings accounts<\/a><\/span> have comparable rates, but they&#8217;re <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fixed-vs-variable-interest-rate-which-is-better-for-your-savings-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">variable<\/a><\/span> and will change when a rate cut is issued (and perhaps before then, depending on the lender). A traditional savings account, meanwhile, has an average rate of just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdic.gov\/national-rates-and-rate-caps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">0.41%<\/a>\u00a0currently, making it multiple times less advantageous than a 4% CD rate. So don&#8217;t lose the interest-earning opportunity in the interim. A CD could still be the smart move to make for your maturing funds now.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Renewing your maturing CD account in today&#8217;s unique rate climate is a personal decision that will need to be weighed carefully against your economic needs and the opportunity to continue to earn elevated interest on your money. But, considering that the rate cut trajectory could change, that rate cuts (when they do arrive) are likely to be small and the lost interest-earning opportunity if the funds are moved out of a CD, it can still make sense to pursue new CD accounts now.
