NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices remained lower Monday, pushing yields up for a third session in four, after data showed U.S. sales of new single-family homes jumped 11% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 384,000.Ten-year note yields (UST10Y 3.73, +0.08, +2.16%) rose 9 basis points to 3.75%. Analysts surveyed by MarketWatch expected sales to rise to a 358,000 pace. Treasury prices were lower before the data ahead of the government's $205 billion in bills and notes this week, begging the question how interested investors still are in U.S. bonds. The most important auction Monday will be of $6 billion in 20-year inflation indexed securities, with bids due at 1 p.m. Eastern time.
