Treasuries showed a lack of direction over the course of the trading session on Thursday before ending the day modestly higher.
Bond prices spent the day bouncing back and forth across the unchanged line but moved to the upside going into the close. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, dipped 2.1 basis points to 1.844 percent.
The choppy trading on the day came as traders seemed reluctant to continue to making significant moves following the volatility seen over the past few sessions, which saw treasuries soar early in the week before pulling back sharply on Wednesday.
