Interest rates and bonds.You may choose to invest in bonds to avoid the volatility of the stock market – but bonds aren’t risk-free. Bond prices go down when interest rates go up, and since they’re still quite low, the upward trend is projected to continue.

Interest rates and CDs.If you choose certificates of deposit (CDs) to save for retirement, low interest rates may make it hard for your earnings to even keep up with inflation. Factor in taxes, and your CD returns may actually end up negative. An annuity can help protect your savings from interest rate risk.
