NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury yields declined and the dollar remained under pressure on Tuesday after a report showed U.S. import prices rose 0.7% in March, less than anticipated. A separate report said the U.S. trade gap widened to $39.7 billion, more than economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.84, -0.04, -1.06%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 2 basis points to 3.83%. The dollar index (DXY 80.50, -0.06, -0.08%) , which measures the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, declined to 80.471, from 80.574 in late North American trading Monday. The euro (CUR_EURUSD 1.3600, +0.0014, +0.1031%) traded at $1.3593, up from $1.3588 late Monday.
