☆ This bank just boosted its 1-year CD yield to more than 5%, even as traders await Fed rate cuts
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-02 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Marcus' yield hike places it in an exclusive group of financial institutions continuing to offer rates in the 5% range on deposits. Citizens Access and Capital One Financial each offer a 1-year CD that yields 5%, while Sallie Mae offers a 5.15% APY. Bread Financial is at the top of the heap, with an APY of 5.25% on a 1-year CD. Indeed, LendingClub recently slashed its 1-year CD APY to 4.2%, reflecting a cut of 95 basis points, Caintic found. For instance, investors may forfeit some interest if they "break" their CD ahead of maturity, which makes these funds less liquid compared to money market funds.

And as one of the richest and most powerful people in the world, Musk's political stances carry a great weight. Musk's political donations dating back to 2002 fit neatly into just a single landing page on OpenSecrets, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. AdvertisementThough Musk historically hasn't been big on political donations, he's publicly said that he weighs in on politics when it could affect his businesses. Musk's political coming of age during the pre-social media era remains much of a mystery. His latest donations have all been to Republican candidates and causes, with Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware being the last Democrat to receive any Musk donations back in 2020.

☆ A baby boomer who saved over $2 million for retirement explains what he thinks he did right to make the system work for him

One in five older Americans have no retirement savings, Social Security doesn't feel like much of a guarantee, and the pension era is over. While the widespread shift over the last five decades to 401(k)s for retirement savings has meant some Americans can't afford the burden of being primarily responsible for their retirement finances, others have been able to work the system to their advantage. Throughout his nearly 40-year-long career in geology, he was able to sock away over $2 million for his retirement, even after putting multiple kids through college. He thinks some just didn't know much about 401(k)s during the switch from a pension or didn't understand them.

It also reflects that there's money in the system — but Chinese consumers are just really not that keen on dropping their hard-earned cash at Starbucks or Gucci. China's demand for gold jewelry softened in the first quarter of this year due to the surge in gold prices but was still holding up well, according to the council. Gen Z Chinese consumers ditch luxury for goldUnlike the rush into gold assets, Chinese consumers are not running out to buy even more stuff, particularly foreign imports. China's savings rate was around 32% last year — compared to around 4% in the US, according to a McKinsey analysis of official data. "Chinese households are increasingly confronted by the weak long-term Chinese growth outlook and the slumping prices in China's residential real estate market," said Biswas.

Royal warrants act as a stamp of approval to indicate the preferred goods and services used by the royal household and senior members of the royal family. The use of royal warrants can be traced back to medieval times when Henry II first granted a Royal Charter to the Weavers’ Company, according to the Royal Warrants Holders Association. In the 15th century, the first official royal warrants were granted, including to the King’s printer, William Caxton. A window display at Fortnum and Mason celebrates the coronation of King Charles III on April 29, 2023 in London, England. “It seems quite clear that if there are any [Environmental, Social and Governance] problems with the company, they will not get a royal warrant,” he said.
