Following the upward move seen over the two previous sessions, treasuries gave back some ground during trading on Wednesday.
Bond prices moved to the downside in morning trading and remained firmly negative throughout the afternoon. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, rose by 2.6 basis points to 4.282 percent.
The pullback by treasuries may partly have reflected profit taking after the ten-year yield ended Tuesday's trading at its lowest closing level in almost a month.
