Oracle said to advance Indonesia cloud services plan
The American tech giant will lease DayOne's data centres located at Nongsa Digital Park on the Indonesian island of Batam, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing information that's private.
Oracle will be the sole tenant at DayOne plots that could support facilities with at least 120MW of power, they said.
A 120MW data centre typically requires a capital investment of at least US$1.2bil, depending on factors like location, design tier and land costs, and whether the facility is built for hyperscale artificial intelligence workloads.
Oracle's expansion confirms an earlier Bloomberg News story that it was in discussions to establish a cloud services centre in Indonesia.
Representatives for Texas-based Oracle didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Singapore-headquartered DayOne earlier this year was spun out of Chinese data centre operator GDS Holdings Ltd, which retains a stake.
ByteDance is far and away DayOne's largest customer, according to research firm SemiAnalysis, with Oracle coming in second.
DayOne also didn't respond to a request for comment. — Bloomberg

China exports soared in June, beating forecasts
China's exports reached record highs last year – a lifeline to its slowing economy as pressures elsewhere mounted. (EPA Images pic) BEIJING : China's exports jumped in June, official data showed today, beating forecasts in a month when Washington and Beijing agreed a tentative deal to lower swingeing tariffs on each other. Data from the General Administration of Customs said exports rose 5.8% year-on-year, topping the 5% forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Imports rose 1.1% – beating the predicted 0.3% gain. China's exports reached record highs last year – a lifeline to its slowing economy as pressures elsewhere mounted. Beijing has struggled to sustain growth since the pandemic as it battles a prolonged debt crisis in the property sector, chronically low consumption and high youth unemployment. A bruising trade war with the US, driven by President Donald Trump's policy of sweeping import tariffs, has made things more difficult for the world's second-largest economy. Washington and Beijing have de-escalated their trade spat after reaching a framework for a deal at talks in London last month, but observers warn of lingering uncertainty. Customs official Wang Lingjun said at a news conference today that Beijing '(hopes) that the US will continue to work together with China towards the same direction', state broadcaster CCTV reported. 'The tariff truce was 'hard won',' Wang said. 'There is no way out through blackmail and coercion. Dialogue and cooperation are the right path,' he added.

Bitcoin tops US$120,000 for the first time
Bitcoin was last traded 1.5% higher at US$120,856.34. (Rawpixel pic) SINGAPORE : Bitcoin crossed the US$120,000 level for the first time today, marking a major milestone for the world's largest cryptocurrency as investors bet on long-sought policy wins for the industry this week. Starting today, the US House of Representatives will debate a series of bills to provide the digital asset industry with the nation's regulatory framework it has long demanded. Those demands have resonated with US President Donald Trump, who has called himself the 'crypto president' and urged policymakers to revamp rules in favour of the industry. Expectations of further tailwinds for the industry helped propel Bitcoin to yet another record high of US$121,207.55 in the Asian session today. It last traded 1.5% higher at US$120,856.34. The surge in Bitcoin, which is up 29% for the year thus far, has sparked a broader rally across other cryptocurrencies over the past few weeks, even in the face of Trump's chaotic tariffs. Ether, the second-largest token, scaled an over five-month top of US$3,048.23 today and last stood at US$3,036.24. The sector's total market value has swelled to about US$3.78 trillion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Singapore stock market poised for biggest IPO in years
NTT DC REIT's IPO will be the biggest listing on the Singapore Exchange since 2017. (Reitsweek pic) SINGAPORE : Singapore's stock market is poised for its largest listing in eight years today with the debut of a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on data centres. Valued at US$773 million, the trust NTT DC REIT is backed by the city's sovereign wealth fund and Japan's NTT group. It is expected to give a much-needed boost to the Singapore Exchange (SGX), which has seen lacklustre interest for major listings in recent years. Data centres are an area of phenomenal growth owing to the global need to store massive amounts of digital data and run energy-intensive artificial intelligence tools. Trading in NTT DC REIT in US dollars will start at 2pm, the managers of the initial public offering said in an announcement on the SGX website. It will be the biggest listing on the exchange since 2017, when fiber network-centred NetLink NBN Trust raised S2.3 billion (US$1.8 billion). NTT DC REIT is backed by Singapore's GIC, one of the world's biggest sovereign wealth funds, and Japan's telecommunications giant NTT Group. The NTT Group, through its global data centre business NTT GDC, is the world's third-largest data centre provider, according to the IPO's prospectus. Singapore is a leading hub for data centres in Asia, with its strategic location at the crossroads of submarine cable routes providing connectivity to the region and beyond. 'From 2024 to 2027, the power used by data centres is expected to rise at a compounded annual growth rate of 27.5%, following double-digit expansion over the past five years,' the prospectus said.
