US Treasury yields fall ahead of inflation data

U.S. government debt prices fell on Friday after inflation data that could influence Federal Reserve policy on interest rates came in a bit weaker than expected.

The consumer price index (CPI) came in 0.2 percent higher for March, compared with an expectation for a 0.3 percent rise.

Yields on U.S. 10-year Treasury notes (U.S.: US10Y) rose about 3 basis points to the 1.88 percent range after the CPI data.

A weaker number could push back market expectations for a rate hike, analysts told CNBC Thursday. Currently, most Fed watchers see rate hikes beginning in September or later.

The spring meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are taking place in Washington D.C. Friday, and are attended by central bank governors, finance ministers and government officials.
