MW: Dollar adds to gain, Treasurys slide after data
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. dollar added to gains and Treasury prices gave up a small advance Monday after the New York Federal Reserve Bank's Empire State Manufacturing Index slipped to 22.9 in March from 24.9 in February. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes (UST10Y 3.70, -0.03, -0.67%) , which move inversely to prices, were little changed at 3.71%, after being lower before the data. The euro fell to $1.3711 versus the dollar Monday, down from $1.3760 in North American trade late Friday. The dollar index (DXY 80.13, +0.30, +0.37%) , which measures the U.S. unit against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, traded at 80.126, up from 79.830 late Friday. Still to come are data on industrial production, international-investment flows and an index on home builders' confidence.
