With the Federal Open Market Committee widely expected to trim interest rates at its meeting June 24-25, yields may get even lower according Bankrate.com’s weekly national survey of large financial institutions. The following are deposit averages from Bankrate.com’s national CD survey: * Money market account: 0.64%, unchanged from last week * 6-month CD yield: 1.04%, down from 1.05% last week * 1-year CD yield: 1.18%, down from 1.2% last week * 5-year CD yield: 2.66%, down from 2.69% from last week Bucking the trend, Bankrate.com did find 12 institutions paying at least 2% APY on money market accounts, more than triple the national average.
