After ending the previous session modestly lower, treasuries saw further downside over the course of the trading day on Tuesday.
Bond prices fluctuated in morning trading but slid firmly back into the red as the afternoon progressed. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, climbed 4.5 basis points to 3.748 percent.
The weakness among treasuries came amid lingering concerns about the outlook for interest rates following hawkish comments from some Federal Reserve officials.
