I’m currently keeping my money earmarked for I-bonds in an HSBC banking account (4.25%) and will do so until I see the new rates next year. With the large decrease in the CPI my guess is that I-bonds will be at a lower rate than many of the online banks when the rates are updated.

Would you suggest waiting until the new rates get announced next year?
