Mumbai, Sept. 29 -- The US treasury yields were largely steady on Friday following latest inflation data. The 10-year Treasury yield ticked up less than 1 basis point to 4.18% after August's personal consumption expenditures or PCE index gained 0.3% on the month and 2.7% on the year. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core PCE increased 0.2% from July for an annual gain of 2.9%. This rise in inflation reading clubbed with the improvement in labour market data on Thursday kept the yields elevated though Monday seems to be pulling the market in other direction. The 10-year yield is currently at 4.13%, down marginally on the day after a 1.5% decline in WTI Crude oil futures.
