New I-Bond Rates

[RWG1950]

The U.S. Treasury has announced the 6-month rate on series "I" savings bonds will be 3.98% for the six-month period of 5-1-25 thru 10-31-25.
Included in this rate is a 1.1% fixed component.

While the rates are adjusted every six months, just remember you are buying what is essentially a ~30-year bond, with costs if you exit "early."
FWIW, a six-month Treasury bill can offer similar rates with no strings attached.
