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

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.

New York, January 10, 2026, 09:58 EST — Market closed Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) shares rose 2.1% to $445.01 on Friday, trading between $430.40 and $448.78, with about 74 million shares changing hands.
