The U.S. Treasuries remained flat Tuesday ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) monetary policy meeting, scheduled to be held on June 14. Also, expectations for a rise in the country’s CPI for the month of May, further added sluggishness to the debt market.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury, hovered around 2.22 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields rose nearly 1 basis point to 2.87 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year note traded flat at 1.35 percent by 11:10GMT.
The majority of European bourses started Tuesday’s session on an improved tone recouping part of the previous session’s losses as the recent global sell-off in tech shares shows signs of easing. Fixed income safe havens were little changed ahead of the conclusion of this week’s two-day FOMC policy meeting on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures traded 0.15 percent higher at 2,430.00 by 11:30GMT, while at 11:00GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly Dollar Strength Index remained neutral at 25.29 (a reading above +75 indicates a bullish trend, while that below -75 a bearish trend).
