U.S. Treasuries had a mixed finish to the week, as 10s and shorter tenors recorded their fourth day of gains in a row while the long bond underperformed, finishing with a slim loss.

The 10-yr note and shorter tenors started the day with modest gains while the 30-yr bond underperformed from the open after a night that saw renewed volatility in global technology stocks.
