Treasury prices fall for eighth day

Comments by St. Louis Fed’s Bullard, other speakers in focus

"Yields on 10-year notes  (UST10Y 3.45, +0.01, +0.32%) rose 2 basis points to 3.46%, after touching 3.49% earlier.

The bond market’s now in the midst of the longest string of days with rising 10-year yields since 2002.

The yield on the five-year note  (UST5YR 2.20, +0.04, +1.95%)  rose nearly 4 basis points to 2.2%.

The one exception, however, was the 30-year bond  (UST30Y 4.50, -.00, -0.09%) , which saw its yield fall less than 1 basis point, to just under 4.5%."
