NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - Treasury prices pared gains and the dollar stayed higher Wednesday after a report showed U.S. consumer prices rose 0.1% last month. Also, the New York Federal Reserve's index of manufacturing in the region rose 22 points to 10.6 in December. The euro (EURUSD 1.3331, -0.0048, -0.3587%) slipped to $1.3336, from $1.3411 Tuesday. The dollar index (DXY 79.70, +0.34, +0.43%) , a measure of the greenback's performance against a basket of six other currencies, climbed to 79.688 from 79.248 on Tuesday in late North American trading. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 3.43, -0.05, -1.35%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 4 basis points to 3.45%. Bonds were lower and the dollar was up before the data as a warning from Moody's Investors Service about its rating on Spain weighed on stocks and commodities.
