Johnson & Johnson stock dips on Trump drug-price deal — what to watch before Monday

New York, January 10, 2026, 10:58 ET — Market closed Johnson & Johnson shares fell 0.7% on Friday, closing at $204.39. The company said it reached an agreement with the U.S. government to lower drug prices in exchange for exemptions from tariffs. (reuters.com) The timing matters: drugmakers are heading into another round of pricing battles abroad, particularly in Europe, after agreeing to U.S. price concessions tied to what other wealthy countries pay. “You can’t force the Europeans to just all of a sudden spend more.

Exxon Mobil stock in focus as CEO calls Venezuela “uninvestable” while keeping return option alive

New York, January 10, 2026, 10:43 EST — Market closed Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) shares ended Friday up 1.38% at $124.61.

Mastercard stock in focus after Trump floats 10% credit card rate cap; what to watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 10:44 EST — Market closed Here are the key points: Mastercard shares head into the week under pressure as Washington reenters the spotlight. U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap on credit card interest rates, limiting them to 10%. The stock slipped 0.8%, closing at $575.54 on Friday. (reuters.com) This proposal hits payments companies by focusing on the fees issuers charge, which in turn affects how much credit consumers can access. Mastercard doesn’t provide loans itself, but it collects fees based on card spending. So, if credit availability tightens, it could dent transaction growth.
