The benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to price, was higher at around 1.8%, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was also lower at around 2.285%.
The moves come after weak economic data in the previous session, fueling expectations of another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

The U.S. central bank has already cut interest rates twice this year and market participants expect another move lower later this month.
At present, market expectations for a quarter-point rate cut on Wednesday are at 93.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.
