Financial services stocks face a Tuesday test as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap deadline nears

Financial services stocks face a Tuesday test as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap deadline nears

NEW YORK, January 19, 2026, 13:33 EST — Market closed Financial services stocks reopened Tuesday amid uncertainty over card lenders. President Donald Trump has proposed capping credit card interest rates at 10% for one year starting Jan. 20, though he didn’t specify how it would be enforced. Banks quickly pushed back, warning that tighter credit could result. JPMorgan Chase CFO Jeremy Barnum said broad price caps would cause people to “lose access to credit.” Currently, average credit card rates hover around 22%, while U.S. card balances hit $1.23 trillion in Q3. A Vanderbilt University study suggests a 10% cap might save consumers $100 billion annually.

Tesla stock in focus as Canada cuts China-made EV tariffs — what’s next for EV stocks

New York, Jan 19, 2026, 12:31 — Market closed Tesla will grab attention when U.S. markets open Tuesday after Canada announced it’s scrapping the 100% tariff on China-made EVs. It’s replacing that with a quota allowing up to 49,000 vehicles annually at the usual 6.1% tariff. Half of those slots are earmarked for cars under C$35,000. Competitors like BYD and Nio don’t yet sell in Canada, so AutoForecast Solutions’ Sam Fiorani suggested this move “could allow resumption of those exports rather quickly.” On Friday, Tesla slipped 0.2% to $437.50, Rivian dropped 2.4%, and Lucid nudged up 0.7%.

Oil stocks brace for Tuesday as Brent holds near $64 and tariff jitters cloud demand

NEW YORK, January 19, 2026, 12:26 EST — The market has closed. Oil stocks reopened Tuesday with crude clinging near $64 a barrel after supply worries tied to Iran faded and traders shifted focus to the U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland. Brent inched up a penny to $64.14 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate added 7 cents, landing at $59.51. “The market is now focusing on the Greenland situation … any trade war expansion could impact demand,” said Janiv Shah, analyst at Rystad Energy. Phil Flynn of Price Futures Group described the scene as a market “locked in by competing bullish and bearish forces” that might push prices into “sideways trade.”

  • Investors move to India as global AI craze stirs up volatility
    July 5, 2026, 4:38 AM EDT. Global markets have been choppy on the back of the AI rally, and investors have started looking at India as a safe haven. The NSE Nifty 50 Index is showing lower volatility than the S&P 500 and other emerging market peers, so it's becoming more popular for portfolio diversification. While Indian stocks haven't participated much in the AI trade, the country has a stable rupee, cheaper commodities, and a better economic outlook. Foreign outflows have slowed, and in June, the Nifty 50 outperformed other emerging market benchmarks. Morgan Stanley and Arkevium Capital analysts say India is holding up as a defensive growth market with steady inflation and solid earnings forecasts. That gives India some insulation from global swings tied to AI stocks.
