U.S. government debt prices were mixed on Tuesday, as investors monitored the start of a two-day Federal Reserve meeting.

div > div.group > p:first-child"> The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was slightly lower at 2.5961 percent, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was slightly higher at 3.0111 percent. Bond yields move inversely to prices.

Market focus is largely attuned to central bank expectations, with the Fed due to kick-off its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday. With global economic growth appearing to slow, most market participants anticipate the U.S. central bank to adopt a cautious tone. The Federal Reserve is also expected to lower its interest rate forecasts — or"dot plots" — to show little or no further tightening in 2019.

Investors are also monitoring developments out of Europe. Fresh Brexit uncertainty dragged U.K. sterling to as low as $1.3183 overnight. It comes after the speaker of Parliament ruled that British Prime Minister Theresa May could not put her divorce deal to a new vote unless it was re-submitted in a substantially different form.

May only has two days to secure approval for her deal to leave the European Union if she wants to meet with the bloc's leaders on Thursday with something to offer them in exchange for more time.No auctions expected from the Treasury but a 4-week bill and an 8-week bill announcement is due at 11:00 a.m. ET.
