Published September 14, 2012 9:26pm ET



Investors dumped Treasurys on Friday, pushing yields to four-month highs, as they moved money into stocks and other riskier bets.

The price of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell $1.31 for every $100 invested. The yield, which moves in the opposite direction, rose to 1.87 percent from 1.73 percent late Thursday. The yield hasn’t been that high since early May.
