TREASURIES-30Y bond price falls 1 full point after data
(Updates with long bond down over a point)
NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) - The 30-year Treasury bond's price fell more than a full point on Tuesday in the aftermath of a stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales report and data showing persistent import price inflation.
The 30-year Treasury bond's price, which moves inversely to its yield, fell 1-7/32 for a yield of 4.62 percent <US30YT=RR>.
Long-maturity fixed income securities are particularly vulnerable to inflation pressures, which erode bond values over time. (Reporting by John Parry; Editing by James Dalgleish)
