NEW YORK & JAKARTA, Indonesia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 20, 2026--

PT Valbury Asia Futures (“Valbury”), a leading Indonesian brokerage company with 30 years of experience in forex and commodity trading, today announced the launch of US stock trading. This launch is powered by Alpaca, a global leader in brokerage infrastructure APIs providing access to options, stocks, ETFs, and fixed income.

Historically, Indonesian retail investors have faced limited access to global investing due to high fees, complex regulations, and other barriers. However, with the number of retail investors reaching 17 million in 2025, a significant rise in financial literacy and market participation is evident. Valbury is capitalizing on this momentum by making US equities more accessible to a broader audience.

This offering allows Valbury’s clients to trade shares of major US companies for as little as $1 USD while staying compliant with Indonesian regulatory requirements. This helps significantly lower the barrier to entry for local investors, enabling them to diversify their portfolios in the world’s largest capital market.

“The US stock market is highly attractive to Indonesian investors, yet they have often needed multiple accounts across a variety of platforms to access both domestic and international assets,” said Caroline Haryono, CMO of PT Valbury Asia Futures. “With our launch, Valbury clients can consolidate all of their assets on a single platform, eliminating fragmentation, enhancing the customer experience, and making global investing accessible to more than just the wealthy.”

Valbury uses Alpaca’s Broker API to power its US stock trading service. This includes utilizing Alpaca’s OmniSub technology ✝, a sub-accounting ledger model designed to streamline back office operations. OmniSub helps Valbury maintain compliance with Indonesian regulations while simplifying complex bookkeeping, including position management, reconciliation, corporate actions, and trade matching.

“We are excited to support Valbury as it brings global investing opportunities to investors in Indonesia,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca. “With our Broker API and OmniSub technology, we enable brokers to deliver increased access to the world’s largest capital markets at a faster pace.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luke Evangelista scored the only goal of the shootout in the eighth round, and the Nashville Predators tightened the Western Conference playoff race with a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

Nashville, Los Angeles and San Jose are now even with 79 points apiece for the second wild-card playoff spot in the West, but the Sharks — who beat Toronto 4-1 earlier Thursday — have a game in hand.

Steven Stamkos scored his 37th goal and Jonathan Marchessault ended his 14-game goal drought for the Preds, who snapped their three-game skid despite blowing a three-goal lead. Filip Forsberg and Zachary L’Heureux also scored.

Juuse Saros stopped 29 shots before turning in a perfect eight-round shootout for Nashville.

The first 15 skaters in the shootout all failed to score before Evangelista ended it with a deke and a backhand for his first shootout goal of the season.

Adrian Kempe scored two goals and Joel Armia tied it midway through the third period for the Kings, who have lost six of eight with their season in the balance.

Scott Laughton also scored, and Darcy Kuemper rebounded from a rough beginning to make 31 saves before a strong shootout.

Before the game, the Kings honored retiring captain Anze Kopitar with a ceremony recognizing his 20-year career. The Slovenian center set the team's career scoring record last month.

Forsberg then scored his 35th goal for Nashville in the opening minute on a stoppable shot, and L’Heureux scored moments later when Kuemper was caught out of his crease.

Kuemper even gave a penalty shot to Nashville late in the first by throwing his stick at the puck, but Ryan O'Reilly couldn't convert. Marchessault got his 12th goal — his first in exactly a month — early in the second.

Kempe finally got the Kings going when Artemi Panarin's 51st assist deflected in off his skate, but Stamkos scored just over two minutes later. After Kempe scored again to secure the fourth 30-goal season of his career, Laughton scored moments later on a rebound.

Armia finally tied it when he drove the net and tapped in Jared Wright's rebound for his 11th goal.

Predators: At San Jose on Saturday night.

Kings: Host Toronto on Saturday.
