NEW YORK (MarketWatch) –Treasury prices erased losses and the dollar extended its decline against the euro on Thursday after the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index fell to 56.2 in June from 59.7 in May, more than many analysts anticipated. A separate report showed pending home sales fell 30% in May. Yields on 10-year notes , which move inversely to prices, fell 1 basis point to 2.92%. The euro rose to $1.2430, up from $1.2247 in North American trading late Wednesday. The dollar index , a measure of the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, fell to 84.963 from 86.012 late Wednesday.
