As of October 19, 2026, 91% of changes to existing Certificate of Deposit rates were increases, meaning rate increases nearly outnumber decreases 10 to 1. This acceleration occurred following a September Consumer Price Index rise of 0.6%, which pushed year-over-year inflation to 3.7%. The number of CDs offering at least 4.00% APY jumped 86% in about four weeks.
