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 Dec. 16, 2009.

CDs

Yields: 0.82 percent (1-year CD yield); 2.08 percent (5-year CD yield)

There is very little activity to report this week. Yields remained flat after losing fairly significant ground last week.

The average yield for one-year CDs, as surveyed by Bankrate.com, is 0.82 percent, down 1 basis point from last week. The average yield for five-year CDs remains at 2.08 percent, the same as last week.

The jumbos haven't budged off of last week's numbers. The one-year average yield is 0.89 percent, and the five-year average is 2.11 percent.

Money market accounts lost 1 basis point; the average yield is now 0.24 percent.
