    Oracle declares force majeure on New Mexico data center amid power supply shortages

    Question

    Oracle declares force majeure on New Mexico data center amid power supply shortages

    Direct answer

    Oracle's declaration of force majeure on its New Mexico data center project underscores the intensifying physical constraints on AI expansion. Power availability has emerged as a primary bottleneck for hyperscale data center construction. The development coincides with broader equity market pressure as the 30-year US Treasury yield pushed to levels not seen since 2004, weighing on high-multiple technology and infrastructure assets.
