U.S. Treasuries lose ground in silent trading session ahead of JOLTs job openings data, 3-year auction

The U.S. 10-year Treasuries remained on the downside Tuesday ahead of JOLTs job openings data for the month of June and the 3-year Note auction scheduled to be held today by 19:30GMT and 22:30GMT for added direction in the debt market.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasuries rose nearly 1-1/2 basis points to 2.95 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields climbed a tad over 1 basis point to 3.09 percent and the yield on the short-term 2-year too traded nearly 1-1/2 basis points higher at 2.66 percent by 10:40GMT.

After a day bereft of new US economic data releases yesterday, today appears to be relatively quiet too, with only the JOLTS job openings and the consumer credit data due.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures remained 0.24 percent higher at 2,856.75 by 10:45GMT, while at 10:00GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly Dollar Strength Index remained neutral at 52.77 (a reading above +75 indicates a bullish trend, while that below -75 a bearish trend).
