Mumbai, Sept. 17 -- The US Treasury yields eased yesterday, failing to sustain after rising in intraday moves as broad focus stayed on the Federal Reserve's policy statement. Yields extended gains after the Commerce Department said retail sales rose 0.6% last month following an upwardly revised 0.6% advance in July. Sales clocked a steady 5% gain on year ago basis. However, a falling US dollar and overall supportive undertone in equities capped upside for yields. The benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield dropped 0.6 basis point to 4.02%, dragging near five-month low.
