SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Longer-dated Treasurys tipped higher Wednesday, and the U.S. dollar stayed down, after a round of midmorning economic data painted a sluggish picture of the U.S. economy and stocks fell. Yields on the 10-year note 10_YEAR -1.99% were at 2.57%, down 4 basis points. They were at 2.61% ahead of the report. The dollar index DXY -0.55% traded at 74.133 vs. 74.061 ahead of the 10 a.m. releases, but down from 74.496 late Tuesday. The Institute of Supply Management said its service-sector index fell to 52.7% in July from 53.3% in June, still in expansion, but short of the rise to 53.5% expected by economists. The Commerce Department said factory orders fell 0.8% in June.
