05:25 AM EDT, 10/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- TotalEnergies (TTE) and Namibia are yet to agree on terms for developing the Venus offshore oil discovery, putting pressure on the company's target of making a final investment decision by 2026-end, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday. Namibian officials confirmed that negotiations remain underway, but declined to say whether an agreement would be reached this year, according to the report. The project is expected to produce about 160,000 barrels of oil per day, Bloomberg reported, adding that first production was originally targeted by 2030. TotalEnergies didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

In September, Anthropic directly acquired Caterpillar equipment orders worth 3.4 billion USD, securing 1.7 GW of gas generator units, marking the largest single purchase of power generation equipment in AI history. This move bypassed utility middlemen, capturing scarce capacity at prices set years ago with near-term delivery. It is part of Anthropic's plan to invest over 895 billion USD in computing infrastructure by 2045.
