The Wall Street Journal's "What the Rate Cut Means for You" quotes Crane Data statistics and Pete Crane, saying, "Average yields on money-market mutual funds, which have been hovering at 5% for about a year, are likely to drop to about 4.5% in the next month.... But part of the fall in yields may be counteracted by some managers' moves to buy higher-yielding asset-backed commercial paper. As a result, there may be a benefit to shopping around since money managers can differentiate their funds' performance by investing in the higher-yielding securities."
