The Big Take from Bloomberg News brings you inside what’s shaping the world's economies with the smartest and most informed business reporters around the world. The context you need on the stories that can move markets. Every afternoon.


Big Take

The bond market has been grabbing headlines and roiling global markets, particularly in the US and in Japan, where yields are surging and buyer interest remains low.
 
That matters, because as Bloomberg Opinion’s John Authers says, the yield on the 10-year treasury note is the most important number in world finance. 
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, John Authers joins Stacey Vanek Smith to explain what surging bond yields mean for interest rates and why we could be seeing a correction, not a crisis.

Our Town Chapter 4: All Metal Mode

With Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh set to deliver the biggest speech of his tenure on Friday, anticipation is spreading well beyond bankers and traders. Bond yields are rising, as global economies send up inflationary signals. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s efforts to tamp down rates by buying bonds may complicate the Fed’s approach. And the keynote speaker himself has suggested that he’s not comfortable sending messages about Fed intentions. So what can he say?
 
On today’s Big Take podcast, Odd Lots co-host Joe Weisenthal joins Sarah Holder to tee up Warsh’s speech at the Kansas City Fed’s symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the challenges facing Warsh and other global central bankers.

The Mormon Church’s Real Estate Empire

Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years. To capitalize on that demand, telehealth companies started offering compounded versions of those drugs.
