The 10-year yield rose 2.6 basis points to 4.034% per annum. The five- and two-year yields also climbed 2.7 and 1.4 basis points, respectively, closing at 3.892% and 3.719% per annum.

The 30- and 50-year yields rose 0.7 and 0.6 basis points, respectively, to 4.131% and 4.155%. Foreign investors were net buyers of 8,813 three-year Treasury futures contracts and 1,998 10-year Treasury futures contracts on the day.
