To maintain security, the system utilizes <strong>network tokens<\/strong> rather than sharing actual credit card numbers with merchants, and every transaction requires <strong>biometric verification<\/strong> (Face ID or Touch ID) from the user.<\/p>\n<p>The rollout is currently limited to <strong>ChatGPT Pro<\/strong> subscribers in the United States who are 18 or older. OpenAI partnered with major financial institutions and networks, including <strong>American Express<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AXP\">AXP<\/a>), <strong>Mastercard<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/MA\">MA<\/a>), and <strong>Visa<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/V\">V<\/a>), to ensure users retain their existing card rewards and protections. While the agents can navigate checkouts, OpenAI emphasized that it is not acting as a bank or merchant, and it is not collecting a transaction fee at launch.<\/p>\n<p>In energy markets, the <strong>U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)<\/strong> reported that natural gas inventories increased by <strong>61 billion cubic feet (Bcf)<\/strong> for the week ending November 6. This figure was lower than the <strong>62 Bcf<\/strong> consensus estimate and significantly below the previous week&#39;s <strong>77 Bcf<\/strong> injection. <strong>Salt dome cavern<\/strong> stocks saw a modest increase of <strong>16 Bcf<\/strong>, down from the prior week&#39;s <strong>22 Bcf<\/strong> gain. The smaller-than-expected build-up suggests resilient demand as the market prepares for winter heating needs.<\/p>\n<p>On the geopolitical front, <strong>Turkey<\/strong> and <strong>Qatar<\/strong> signed a landmark <strong>mutual defense agreement<\/strong> today. The pact was finalized during a meeting between Turkish President <strong>Recep Tayyip Erdogan<\/strong> and Qatari Emir <strong>Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani<\/strong>. This agreement is part of a broader package of five deals covering trade, education, and diplomatic cooperation, further solidifying the &quot;strategic partnership&quot; between the two nations amid shifting regional security dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street faced downward pressure on Friday, with the <strong>Nasdaq 100<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/NDX\">NDX<\/a>) falling over <strong>1%<\/strong> to hit session lows. The broader <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/indices\/sp500\/today\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"snp500 today\">S&amp;P 500<\/a><\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/SPX\">SPX<\/a>) also traded in the red, down <strong>0.4%<\/strong>.
