The United States Treasury Department announced on Friday that it hiked the interest rate for the newly purchased Series I bonds, government-backed low-risk assets.
The new I bonds will now pay a 4.03% annual yield from November 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, higher than the 3.98% interest offered through October 31. The new rate, which changes every six months, comprises a variable portion of 3.12%, based on inflation data, and a fixed portion of 0.90%.
The rate on I bonds reached its highest point, of 9.62%, in May 2022, when inflation levels peaked and many investors rushed to invest, as these assets are seen as a hedge against rising costs because their interest rate is tied directly to the inflation rate.
