After moving lower over the course of the previous session, treasuries saw some further downside during trading on Friday.
Bond prices came under pressure early in the session and remained firmly negative throughout the day. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, climbed 3.4 basis points to 4.322 percent.
The continued weakness among treasuries came as the latest batch of U.S. economic data added to concerns about the outlook for interest rates ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting.
