GMAC Bank had a large increase in its long term CD rates today. Rates on 2 to 5 year CDs were increased from 5.30% to 5.45% APY. The 18-month CD increased from 5.30% to 5.40% APY. The rate of GMAC's money market savings account remains at 5.30% APY.
We may see similar moves by other banks. As a recent Bloomberg article describes, bond yields have skyrocketed in the last few days. The 10-year Treasury yields have increased to their highest level since May 2002.
