NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices remained depressed and the euro stayed higher versus the dollar on Tuesday after the New York Federal Reserve Bank said factory activity in the region expanded at a faster pace in February. The bank's Empire State Manufacturing index rose to 24.9 in February from 15.9 in January. The euro rose to $1.3664, up by 0.5% from Monday. The dollar index (DXY 80.12, -0.22, -0.27%) , which tracks the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, traded at 80.098, little changed from Monday. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.69, -0.03, -0.67%) , which move inversely to prices, stayed up by 2 basis points to 3.72%.
