NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices and the dollar held onto gains after a report showed U.S. retail sales rose 0.5% in October, more than expected. Separate data showed wholesale prices slipped 0.3% last month and a measure of manufacturing activity in the New York area was much better than forecast. The euro EURUSD -0.70% fell to $1.3546, from $1.3540 before the data and down from $1.3620 in North American trade late Monday. The dollar index DXY +0.48% , which tracks the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, pared gains to 77.871 from 77.532. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR -1.70% , which move inversely to prices, fell 5 basis points to 2.01%, after dipping to 1.99% in prior activity.
