FT News Briefing · US Treasury tries to soothe the bond market · 20 Aug 2026 podcast

Hi, Sonia.

Can you explain the Treasury's thinking here?

Why would buying government debt help limit the sell-off?

What kind of reaction did we see to this plan yesterday?

So, Claire, as we discussed on the show earlier this week, one of the reasons for the bond sell-off is inflation fears.

And we got some more information yesterday about how the members of the Federal Reserve are thinking about price pressures, right?

So investors are watching inflation closely.

They're also looking at the US government debt level, which actually hit forty trillion dollars yesterday.

With that in mind, is the Treasury's strategy of buying more US government debt enough to calm the bond market?

In and

Claire Jones is the FT's US economics editor.

Thanks, Claire.

Thanks, Sonya.

Shares in the US vaccine maker Moderna shot up yesterday by 177%.

This came after the company reported successful trial results for an mRNA skin cancer vaccine.

The unprecedented treatment would be custom made for each patient, depending on their specific tumors.

Moderna is a leader in mRNA technology.

It's the same kind that's used in its COVID-19 vaccines.

The company became a corporate hero during the pandemic for rushing to develop the shot.

But its fortunes turned in the years since because demand has declined.
