JPMorgan Chase stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk hits banks before earnings

JPMorgan Chase stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk hits banks before earnings

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:26 (ET) — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares fell on Monday as traders sold bank stocks after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap on credit card interest rates. JPMorgan was down $6.60, or about 2%, at $322.59 in late morning trading. The timing is awkward for bulls. JPMorgan reports results on Tuesday, kicking off earnings season for the biggest U.S. lenders, when executives will have to address consumer credit trends and the bank’s exposure to any shift in card economics. Credit cards are a rich business. That’s the point. They also

For AST, the immediate challenge is juggling satellite deployments with cash flow. Building out a constellation doesn’t come cheap, and investors want clear signs that both launches and

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 11:07 AM EST — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% on Monday, settling near $2.09. The token remains trapped in a tight range, leaving both bulls and bears frustrated. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant because inflows into listed crypto products now serve as a sharp gauge of risk appetite, particularly early in the year when portfolios adjust and liquidity tightens. XRP, in particular, has attracted a rising number of U.S.-listed funds, heightening its sensitivity to news that would have barely registered a year ago. The move comes as markets continue to adjust to shifting interest-rate

AMD stock jumps as Bernstein stays cautious on chipmaker and Wall Street frets Fed fight

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:31 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Advanced Micro Devices were up 2.6% at $208.44 by 10:31 a.m. EST on Monday, even as the Nasdaq 100 tracker dipped slightly. The stock traded between $200.00 and $208.44.

AMD sits near the center of that push-pull ahead of its next results. Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon reiterated “outperform” calls on Nvidia and Broadcom and wrote that AI spending

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:23 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc’s shares inched up 0.2% to $157.64 Monday morning following the company’s announcement that it tapped new share sales to finance another sizable bitcoin acquisition. The disclosure comes as bitcoin sits near $91,132, pushing investors to revisit a familiar dilemma: does Strategy’s “bitcoin-first” balance sheet provide an edge, or simply amplify volatility? Dilution is the key issue now. Strategy has been selling securities on the market, then using the proceeds to buy bitcoin. This effectively turns its stock into a leveraged proxy for bitcoin exposure. Strategy revealed in an
