US bond prices pare losses after March spending data

29 Apr, 2016

NEW YORK: US Treasury prices trimmed earlier losses on Friday as weaker-than-forecast data on consumer spending in March supported the notion of a sluggish US economic expansion, which may keep the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates in June.

Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes were 5/32 lower for a yield of 1.856 percent, up nearly 2 basis points from late on Thursday.
