Another Fed rate hike could be coming. Should you open a CD now or wait?
Interest rates on CDs are currently high, and with the expectation of further rate increases, it may be advantageous to open a CD now to secure a higher rate, although there is a risk that rates could go higher or that you may need access to the funds before the CD term ends, in which case a high-yield savings account may be a better option.
