NEW YORK, April 24 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasuries prices rose

on Friday as data showing weakness in U.S. business investment

in March supported the view that it is unlikely the Federal

Reserve will signal next week it is close to raising interest

rates.

The absence of a breakthrough in debt negotiations between

Greece and its creditors also underpinned safe-haven demand for

low-risk government debt, analysts said.

Before the two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting

that will begin next Tuesday, benchmark yields rose for the

week, ending in the middle of the 1.80-2.01 percent range set in

the past four weeks.

"We expect the FOMC to leave everything on the table and

maintain a similar tone to the last statement," said Ira Jersey,

head of U.S. interest rate strategy at Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS - news) in New (KOSDAQ: 160550.KQ - news)

York. "We think the long end will remain relatively stable even

if the Fed does become a bit more hawkish."

A wave of disappointing domestic data since the March FOMC

meeting has spurred economists to downgrade their outlooks for

the U.S. economy in 2015.

The U.S. Commerce Department said on Friday a closely

watched proxy for business spending plans fell 0.5 percent last

month.

In overseas developments, Greece offered some concessions on

reforms demanded by lenders in exchange for new funding. But

euro zone creditors said negotiations must speed up to get a

deal done by June, when Athens is expected to run out of cash.

"The situation is very uncertain. That causes investor

anxiety and creates a bid for high-quality assets" such as

Treasuries, said Jeff MacDonald, Fiduciary Trust's director of

fixed income strategy in New York.

The rise in Treasuries prices was muted by Thursday's record

high set by the Standard & Poor's 500 index, along with a

pullback in German Bunds, whose 10-year yields were

on track for their biggest weekly rise since December.

In late afternoon U.S. trading, benchmark U.S. 10-year

Treasury notes were up 9/32 in price for a yield of

1.921 percent, down 3.1 basis points from Thursday.

The 10-year yield was set to rise nearly 7 basis points on

the week after hitting 1.993 percent on Wednesday, which was the

highest in 3-1/2 weeks, according to Reuters data.

The 30-year bond was up 14/32 in price to yield

2.616 percent, down 2.1 basis points. The yield was on track to

rise 11 basis points on the week.
