Treasuries moved sharply lower over the course of the trading day on Tuesday, more than offsetting the uptick seen in the previous session.
Bond prices came under pressure early in the session and saw further downside as the day progressed. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, jumped 9.2 basis points to 4.051 percent.
With the significant increase on the day, the ten-year yield ended the session at its highest closing level in five months.
