OpenAI ( OPENAI ) has released ChatGPT Work, an agent that helps users handle tasks across multiple applications and devices. "It can gather information across your apps and workflows to create finished materials like sheets, slides, docs, and web apps, and stay with complex projects for hours by breaking them into smaller steps and completing them independently," OpenAI said in a release. "With Codex technology built in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop." Examples of tasks that ChatGPT Work can handle include analyzing budgets, preparing for a sales meeting, or creating a marketing campaign. OpenAI said all of its teams, including sales and finance, rely on ChatGPT Work and Codex. OpenAI is also merging the Codex app with the new ChatGPT desktop app. Although Codex was primarily created to help developers, OpenAI said more than 1M people use it for tasks outside of coding. The ChatGPT Work announcement occurred the same day OpenAI started rolling out its GPT-5.6 models, which showed strong performance and marked improvements over OpenAI's prior models. Earlier this year, competitor Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) launched plug-ins for its Claude Cowork agent to automate tasks in marketing, legal, sales and data analysis. Microsoft ( MSFT ), OpenAI's primary backer, also unveiled Copilot Cowork as an agentic AI product. More on OpenAI OpenAI IPO Delay: A Symptom Of A Tech Bubble?

huettenhoelscher/iStock via Getty Images German engine manufacturer Deutz ( DEUZF ) agreed to acquire military vehicle producer FFG Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft in a transaction valued at approximately €1.6 billion ($1.8 billion), a move that significantly expands its presence in the defense sector as European governments increase military spending. The deal is expected to accelerate Deutz's growth plans, with Chief Executive Sebastian Schulte telling Reuters that the company now anticipates reaching its 2030 financial objectives one to two years earlier than previously planned. Those targets include €4 billion in annual revenue and a 10% operating margin, measured as earnings before interest and tax. For investors, the acquisition underscores the growing appeal of European defense-related assets as governments across the continent boost military budgets in response to heightened geopolitical tensions. The transaction also highlights how industrial companies are repositioning themselves to capture defense spending growth, although investors will likely focus on execution risks, integration costs and the extent to which defense demand remains elevated over the long term. Deutz shares rose 2.8% by midday trading, after climbing as much as 10.2% earlier in the session following news of the agreement. Based in the northern German city of Flensburg, FFG produces armored and military support vehicles for NATO customers. Its product lineup includes the WiSENT armored recovery vehicle and the ACSV G5 tracked combat-support vehicle. Deutz said FFG will become the centerpiece of its defense division while continuing to operate independently following the acquisition. The transaction is expected to close no later than 2027. As part of the agreement, the families that currently own FFG will receive a substantial equity position in Deutz and are expected to hold as much as 29.9% of the company after the deal is completed. The acquisition marks the latest step in Deutz's ...

jittawit.21 Rising fuel costs are putting a worse-than-expected strain on the U.S. consumer, a reality highlighted in PepsiCo's ( PEP ) second-quarter earnings call, as the snack and beverage giant observed noticeable shifts in domestic spending behavior. During Thursday's Q2 earnings call , PepsiCo ( PEP ) CEO Ramon Laguarta stated, "the consumer is worse than what we had anticipated, and it's driven mainly by gas ( UNG ) ( BOIL ) prices". He noted that shoppers are pulling back more than expected at convenience stores and other locations critical for impulse purchases, entirely due to these elevated fuel costs. This corporate commentary mirrors recent macroeconomic data highlighted by Schwab's Kevin Gordon. As of May, U.S. gasoline and energy spending as a percentage of consumption jumped to 2.51%. While this overall share remains relatively low relative to history, the rolling three-month increase spiked by 0.5 percentage points, representing the sharpest such acceleration since 2009. This pressure on consumer wallets comes as U.S. gas prices have surged above $4 per gallon, driven by the ongoing conflict in Iran. As fuel continues to consume a larger slice of household income, companies relying on discretionary, on-the-go purchasing may continue to face headwinds.
