NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. Treasury prices fell Tuesday, pushing yields up the most in about two weeks, after stronger-than-expected U.S. data on retail sales and wholesale inflation.
Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +3.06% , which move inversely to prices, climbed to 1.72%. A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
Thirty-year bond yields 30_YEAR +2.36% added 6 basis points to 2.81%.
Yields on 5-year notes 5_YEAR +4.06% increased 4 basis points to 0.74%.
Sales at U.S. retailers increased 0.8% last month -- the first such increase seen in four months. See more on retail sales.
In other data, wholesale prices rose 0.3% in July. Analysts surveyed by MarketWatch expected an increase of 0.2% for the month. Read about wholesale prices.
