U.S. wholesale prices remained unchanged in July, against expectations of a 0.3% rise. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.1%, against expectations of a 0.2% rise. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note 10_YEAR -0.29% yield fell 1 basis point to 2.714%, while the 30-year bond 30_YEAR -0.45% yield fell 2 basis points to 3.744%.
