Treasuries fall on upcoming new home sales report
On Wednesday, treasuries were traded lower, as it was widely expected that an upcoming report on new home sales in the U.S. would show an increase, which undermined demand for safer assets. The yield on benchmark 10-year government notes added 3 basis points, reaching the level of 1.78% by 8:28 a.m. in New York.
