6 months risk free deposit with MAS at 2.04%pa. I got some too. 

For those interested, it is available to retail investors for as little as $1k. Just apply via internet banking or ATM. For @BanCoe especially.

Only 6 months on offer. Next month there is a 1 year issuance.  You can also try, it should be higher than 2.04%. 

Yes, you buy at discount and get full amount on maturity.  

Just go to the link and it is all there.

What's the meaning of cut-off vs median vs average yield? It's not a fixed price? (no experience with T bills)

Competitive (non guaranteed allotment amount) Vs non competitive (guaranteed allotment amount). I went for non competitive which give a fixed yield.

Yes. 

Note I am not going for this one, don't think rates have peaked.

Good recommendation bro👍. I'll try the next one. FD rates are worse than this, what gives? Too much cash in banking system?

I have no idea why banks which are not triple AAA rated are paying less than T bills of similar tenure. 

I have the same question too. Maybe some experts can share why the abnormal?

@Fcw75 Thanks!   Opened two FD at BOC at 1.1% each last month.  
Going to terminate and reopen at this new rate.

Seriously speaking, the bare bare minimum to make any decent absolute dollar sense at all at such stupid rates today is $50k

imagine, $5k for a year at 1.7%?  Thats like $7 a month.  Oh come on….   Its better spending the money

Maybe wait a while more. I think FD interest rate will only go up soon.

SSBs over subscribed last month also. I only got a small amount last month. And I already redeemed my July 2019 one.

Song.

my personal forecast is for mortgage rates to average out around the 4% mark. 
so if a 4% mortgage rate is going clean you out, you better start planning, earning more or tightening big time.

woooohooo.

If you are working in the timber yard it’s fine to dismiss it , but for the retiree he has no other choice unless they want to punt in Bourses …….

On the contrary, for the retiree, he should not be leaving big amounts in low yielding FDs, locked up for such long periods.

putting it into a simple good reit will produce 3 times the yield at 4 times the frequency.   

If he has no choice only its most likely becos he knows little.   Then its just too bad for him.  
 

unless he is like me, cash rich and looking for opportunities.  As such, i do not lock in my money for long periods for so little return.

in other words, to lock up your $5000 for $7 a month for a period of 1 yr is plain dumb. Its better off owning the freedom to spend it whenever you need too.
