By Deborah Levine
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices erased a small decline and the dollar remained under pressure on Tuesday after the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite U.S. home price index dropped sharply in February to hit the worst level in nearly a decade. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +0.52% , which move inversely to prices, erased a rise to sit little changed at 1.94%. The dollar index DXY -0.21% , which measures the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, traded at 79.320, paring its loss from 79.406 in late North American trading Monday. The euro EURUSD +0.26% pared a gain to $1.3165, from $1.3149 Monday.
