NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The dollar added slightly to gains and Treasury prices stayed under mild pressure on Tuesday after the S&P Case-Shiller home-price index fell 1% in January. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.45, +0.01, +0.38%) , which move inversely to prices, rose 1 basis point to 3.46%. The dollar index (DXY 76.38, +0.25, +0.33%) , which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of major rivals, rose to 76.402, from 76.340 before the data and up from 76.169 in North American trading late Monday. The euro (EURUSD 1.4059, -0.0019, -0.1350%) slipped to $1.4058, from $1.4070 earlier and down versus $1.4084 Monday.
