After turning higher over the course of the previous sessions, treasuries showed a lack of direction during trading on Tuesday.
Bond prices spent the day bouncing back and forth across the unchanged line before closing roughly flat. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, slipped less than a basis point to 4.418 percent.
Despite the choppy trading on the day, the ten-year yield still edged down to its lowest closing level in two months.
