National CD rates

Here's a look at the state of CD rates from Bankrate.com's weekly national survey of large banks and thrifts conducted Jan. 27, 2010.

CDs

Yields: 0.76 percent (1-year CD yield); 2.07 percent (5-year CD yield)

CD rates pretty much held their ground this past week.

The average yield for one-year CDs, as surveyed by Bankrate.com, shifted downward 1 basis point to 0.76 percent; while its five-year counterpart gained 1 basis point to come in at 2.07 percent.

The one-year jumbo CD rate is 0.82 percent, down 1 basis point from last week's survey. The five-year jumbo remains at 2.12 percent for the second week in a row.

You can earn much better yields by visiting the Bankrate databases for regular high-yield CD rates and for jumbo high-yield CD rates.

The average yield for money market accounts clocked in at 0.24 percent for the third week.
