NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices edged up on Tuesday, while the dollar slipped further against the euro after the S&P Case-Shiller home-price index said prices rose 3.2% in its 20-city index in the year through July. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.52, -0.01, -0.36%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 1 basis point to 2.52%. The euro (EURUSD 1.3497, +0.0058, +0.4316%) rose to $1.3495, from $1.3470 before the data and from around $1.3455 in late North American action Monday. The dollar index (DXY 79.30, -0.10, -0.12%) , a measure of the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, pared gains to 79.335, from 79.295 late Monday.
