NEW YORK: Yields on short-to-medium term Treasuries extended their earlier rise on Tuesday as a bigger-than-expected rise in domestic retail sales in October supported the view the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in December.
Two-year Treasury yield, which is most sensitive to traders' expectations on Fed policy, was up more than 2 basis points at 1.013 percent after touching its highest level since early January earlier Tuesday.
