Arm Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas said Thursday that US export controls on China threaten to slow overall technological advances and are ultimately bad for consumers and companies, aligning himself with Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang and others looking to ease tensions between Washington and Beijing. 'If you narrow access to to technology and you force other ecosystems to grow up, it's not good,' Haas said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg at the Founders Forum Global conference in Oxford. 'It makes the pie smaller, if you will. And frankly, it's not very good for consumers.' He also noted that Arm's footprint in China is 'quite significant.'

U.S. debt-limit deadlock is making this favorite asset more scarce
The booming money-market-fund industry could soon face a shortage of its favorite assets to buy. The supply of Treasury bills, a kind of short-term debt used to fund the federal government, has been shrinking since January, when the U.S. hit its $36.1 trillion debt limit. I'm in my 80s and have 2 kids. How do I choose between them to be my executor? My friend, 83, wants to add me to his bank account to pay his bills. What could go wrong? Why Goldman Sachs says high-flying tech stocks may be headed for a tough stretch Gundlach says gold is no longer for lunatics as the bond king says wait to buy the 30-year 'It might be another Apple or Microsoft': My wife invested $100K in one stock and it exploded 1,500%. Do we sell? That matters because investors poured more than $7 trillion into U.S. money-market funds. The industry ranks as the second-largest group of investors in the $6 trillion T-bill sector, behind the category of households and others. T-bills are considered a cash equivalent because they tend to be liquid and mature in a year or less. But as the supply dwindles, competition for fewer assets increases, which can lead to shrinking yields. 'Cutbacks so far have been manageable,' Deborah Cunningham, chief investment officer for global liquidity markets at Federated Hermes, told MarketWatch. Yet she expects it to become more problematic the longer the debt-ceiling issue drags out. After the U.S. debt limit was reached in January, the Treasury began running down the supply of outstanding bills. Barclays analysts estimate the sector shrunk by $375 billion through May. See: Trump's Treasury is running out of money fast. Why the 'X date' matters for markets. The yield on the 3-month Treasury bill BX:TMUBMUSD03M was at 4.35% on Wednesday, down from closer to 5.4% a year ago, according to FactSet data. The drop in yield largely traced the series of Federal Reserve rate cuts last year. While the bond market has been hyperfocused on the U.S. deficit, House Republicans passed a massive tax and spending bill in May that would add $4 trillion to the nation's debt limit, providing the U.S. more runway to borrow. The plan would add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. deficit over the next decade, with another $551 billion in debt-servicing costs over that time frame, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Senate now must weigh in on the bill. As those negotiations continue, the supply of T-bills will keep shrinking and the U.S. will draw closer to its 'X date,' the estimated point at which the Treasury will have exhausted all its emergency cash-management strategies and won't be able to pay all of its bills on time. Some estimates put the X date around mid-August, but it has been a moving target based on tax receipts, tariffs and other factors. To offset dwindling T-bill supply, some money-market funds also can invest in somewhat longer-duration Treasury securities, repurchase agreements and other government-related assets. 'That opens up a much broader group of assets,' Cunningham said of many funds. A much smaller subset of funds were designed to only invest in short-term T-bills. With the major U.S. stock indexes SPX DJIA COMP back near record territory, many investors have been reluctant to move out of money-market funds and other cashlike havens. U.S. money-market funds hit a record $7.4 trillion in assets in the first week of June, according to Peter Crane, president and CEO of Crane Data. While weekly flows were expected to come under pressure around the June 15 tax-payment deadline, he said that could help offset some of the supply and demand issues in T-bills. 'You are not seeing the gigantic inflows of two years ago,' Crane added. 'But you will see inflows in the second half. That could become an issue then.' Ideally, the debt-ceiling issue would be resolved by then, unleashing the start of what Barclays analysts think could be a $1.4 trillion to $2 trillion deluge of new bill issuance through the end of 2026. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was expected to follow the recent trend and keep U.S. borrowing needs focused in shorter-term bill issuance. 'That will be a great thing. Right now, rates are lower than they should be in the Treasury market because of the cutback in supply,' Cunningham said. 'When the debt ceiling is finalized and bill supply resumes, that's a positive from a money-market-fund industry standpoint.'
