"Money Funds Begin Trending Down" says February Money magazine. (Note that Money hasn't posted this magazine story on the website yet.) It its monthly "Savings and Credit" column, Money writes, "With the Federal Reserve having lowered its key interest rate to 0.25% in late December, money-market mutual funds will be feeling the pinch. The article (incorrectly, we believe) speculates that by the end of January "the funds will have a difficult time generating a return after expenses," citing Greg McBride of Bankrate.com. Pete Crane predicts to Money that as rates ease down, "The majority will yield between 0.5% and 1%.... But funds investing primarily in Treasuries could hit 0%."
