Market Rates Insight Report Analyzes How Bank Deposit Rates Are Likely to Rise in 2014

New Analytical Report, "Likely Scenarios of Rising Deposit Rates in 2014 and Beyond," Reveals Deposit Rate Trends Expected for CDs, Money Market, and Savings Accounts.

San Anselmo, CA, USA (January 11, 2014) -- How will rising deposit rates affect CD rates and savings and checking interest rates in the coming year? That's the question answered in the latest research report from Market Rates Insight, Inc. (http://www.marketratesinsight.com), the leader in financial services intelligence for deposits, personal loans, mortgages, and fees. The new report, "Likely Scenarios of Rising Deposit Rates in 2014 and Beyond," provides an analysis of what deposit rates for CDs, savings accounts, money market, and checking accounts are likely to look like in the 2014.

This latest report reveals how deposit rates are likely to trend based on historical data from the last rising rate environment between July 2003 and July 2007. The predictive report can be invaluable to bank marketing executives and senior staff at banks and credit unions who need to plan their rate increases and budget for future interest expenses. Market Rates Insight is the only research company to have more than 25 years of cumulative bank and credit union rate data, giving the firm a more accurate portrait of cyclical market trends.

"As the economy continues to improve, there is no question that bank deposit rates will begin to rise," said Dr. Dan Geller, Executive Vice President of Market Rates Insight and author of the study. "The real question is when will they rise and to what degree? No one has a crystal ball, but we do have historical data that accurately shows how deposit rates perform during the last rising economic cycle. Scrutinizing past performance can be a very reliable indicator of what lies ahead for deposit rates."

Trends revealed in the report include:

- The impact of 3-month and 6-month LIBOR rates on deposit products.
- The average increase of deposit product rates on a month-to-month basis.
- The projected performance curve of term accounts and liquid accounts.
- The increase in interest expenses for banks and credit unions for consumer deposits.
- And much more.

The "Likely Scenarios of Rising Deposit Rates in 2014 and Beyond" report provides average rates in seven deposit-product categories: checking, savings, money markets, brief-term CDs (3 months or less), short-term CDs (3 months to 1 year), mid-term CDs (1 to 3 years), and long-term CDs (over 3 years). The report is available now for $995.
