NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices and the dollar held onto small gains Wednesday after the National Association of Realtors said existing-home sales rose 4% in November. However, NAR also downwardly revised data back to 2007 to show about 14% fewer homes were sold during the period than previously reported. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +0.16% , which move inversely to prices, fell 1 basis point to 1.93%. The euro EURUSD -0.29% fell to $1.3043, from $1.3079 in North America late Tuesday.
