By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices stayed under pressure and the euro held near flat against the dollar in volatile trading Thursday after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve's manufacturing index came in much more positive than expected for this month. A separate report showed nationally, sales of existing homes fell in September but came in close to economists' forecasts. The euro EURUSD -0.13% traded at $1.3746, compared to $1.3745 in North American trading late Wednesday. The dollar index DXY +0.06% , which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six major rivals, slipped to 77.118 from 77.152 Wednesday. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +1.25% , which move inversely to prices, stayed up 3 basis points to 2.19%.
