NEW YORK: The yield on US 10-year Treasury notes was on track to rise for an eighth straight session on Wednesday, which would be the longest such stretch since a nine-day increase in March 2012, according to Reuters data.

During this eight-day rise, the 10-year yield has risen nearly 31 basis points, which is the largest since a 35 basis point increase in February, Reuters data showed.
