Worker quits job, weighs CD versus Treasury returns
Original: I Told My Boss I'm Done. Now I Have to Choose Between a 1.73% CD and a 5.26% Treasury
A newly retired or departing worker says they told their boss they are done and now must decide where to park savings: a certificate of deposit paying 1.73% or a Treasury security yielding 5.26%. The stark gap between the two rates highlights how Treasuries are currently outpaying many bank deposit products, a comparison resonating with savers weighing safety, liquidity and yield.
Why now: Treasury yields currently far exceed many CD rates, prompting savers to rethink where to hold cash.
