US yields hit session highs on stock futures gains

NEW YORK: Longer-dated US Treasuries yields rose to session highs in early US trading on Tuesday as US stock index futures rose on hopes of a last-minute debt deal for Greece, with the cash-strapped nation poised to miss a debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund.

Benchmark 10-year Treasuries yields were last 2.362 percent, up 3 basis points from late on Monday, while the 30-year yield was up 3 basis points to 3.124 percent.
