Bank certificate of deposit rates in Connecticut continue to tick up, but lag slightly behind other nearby states.

Hartford-based United Bank, which also has a presence in Western Massachusetts, was offering a 2.05 percent annual percentage yield on a one-year certificate of deposit. But aside from them, Waterbury-based Thomaston Savings Bank was offering 2 percent and Ion Bank 1.75 percent, DepositAccounts reported this morning.

But at other banks in New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, APY on a one-year deposit got as high as 2.25 percent.

The average national APY on a one-year CD has increased from roughly .52 percent in March 2017 to about .87 percent today, DepositAccounts reported yesterday.

For a nationally-available 12-month CD without a balance cap, Wisconsin-based Connexus Credit Union’s 12-month CD with a 2.5 percent APY continues to lead the way. The second highest 12-month rate is 2.35 percent APY.

The increases in CDs have been spurred by rising rates at the Fed. The Federal Reserve in March raised its short-term benchmark rate inside a range of 1.5 percent to 1.75 percent, the sixth time the Fed has raised rates since the financial crisis.

Many believe more rate hikes are coming in 2018, although there is some question of whether that means two or three more rate hikes. According to DepositAccounts, there is nearly a 66 percent on the Fed Funds’ Futures probabilities that there will be rate hikes this month and in September. But there is only a nearly 37 percent chance that those two and also a third rate hike in December will occur.
