Chart that compares the I Bond variable (inflation) rate with the prevailing money market or high yield savings rate

Post by billthecat »

Is there a chart that compares the I Bond variable (inflation) rate with the prevailing money market or high yield savings rate?

I'm just curious about how the I Bond rate has historically compared. (The fixed rate would depend on when it was purchased, so I'm ignoring that.)

I did look and was not able to find it. I also figured I could just make it, using the historical variable rate of I Bonds (which is readily available) but I could not find comparable historical data for the prevailing money market or high yield savings rate.
