Treasury yields bounced from near session lows after demand for an auction of 30-year bonds was weaker than expected.
The auction drew a yield of 1.895%, more than three basis points higher than its yield in pre-sale trading moments before the 1 p.m. New York time bidding deadline, a sign that dealers overestimated demand. After the auction, the yield on existing 30-year Treasuries briefly erased a decline of as much as five basis points.
