U.S. July business inventories gave Wall Street an early set of data on which to trade, coming in weak but better than players had hoped for at down 0.4%. As a result, the front of the curve inched lower. Meanwhile, the Treasury announced a $1.75 billion buyback in maturity ranges of 2015 to 2019, which helped the back end garner support.

The 2-year yield was higher by 6.2 basis points to end at 3.782%. The 5-year yield rose 4.6 basis points to end at 4.562%. The 10-year yield gained 2 basis points to end at 4.992%. The 30-year yield was just marginally higher, rising 0.3 basis points to end at 5.516%.
