Not a trade tip — ways to use the insight outside the market.
- Shop around online banks and digital credit unions to ensure your cash is earning the full 4.15% APY rather than sitting in a zero-percent legacy checking account.
What would break this thesis
- A rapid federal rate cut cycle causing banks to immediately slash high-yield savings APYs below 3%.
