Wednesday February 10, 3:37 pm Eastern Time (Note: this article is ''in progress''; there will likely be an update soon.) US Treasuries down sharply after rebound bid fails By Kathie O'Donnell NEW YORK, Feb 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasuries pared long-end losses briefly with help from a better-than-expected 10-year note auction, but slumped back near their lows by the end of futures trading Wednesday. The auctioned notes, which bore 9-3/4-year maturity because the government reopened the November issue, were sold at a high yield of 4.913 percent. Traders had forecast a yield between 4.93 percent to 4.95 percent. ''It was fine,'' James Kochan, a first vice president and bond market strategist at Robert W. Baird & Co., said of the sale. ''It was not a huge cover, but it was adequate and it was priced about right. '' The bid-to-cover ratio was 2.04. Bonds started to cut losses after the auction results were announced, but by shortly after the 1500 EST/2000 GMT futures close they were down 21/32 at 98-19/32 to yield 5.34 percent. The bond's price hit a low of 98-15/32 earlier in the day. Two-year notes were down 1/32 at 99-16/32 to yield 4.77 percent.
