Long-term Treasurys fell modestly early Monday, pushing yields up, before the government floods the market with its biggest quarterly refunding package on record. Ten-year note yields rose 1 basis point to 2.99%. Ten- and 30-year bond yields headed higher as the Treasury Department gears up to sell record amounts of those securities later this week. Shorter-term securities fared better, with yields a little lower in early trading, amid disappointment in further delays from Washington in proposing a plan to support banks.
