Visa stock slips as Trump credit-card cap deadline collides with tariff jitters

Visa stock slips as Trump credit-card cap deadline collides with tariff jitters

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 11:48 (EST) — Regular session Visa Inc (NYSE: V) slipped 0.4% to $327.06 in late-morning trading Tuesday, after opening around $322 and hitting a low of $321.81 earlier in the session. The payments giant remains caught in a wider selloff, driven more by policy shifts and risk-off sentiment than by any news from Visa itself. Visa earns the bulk of its revenue from fees on card transactions rather than interest on credit-card balances. This means the stock’s performance hinges on spending patterns, travel activity, and regulatory or banking shifts affecting card economics. Visa’s drop coincided

Robinhood stock price today: HOOD swings as tariff jitters and crypto-rule fight bite

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 11:20 EST — Regular session Shares of Robinhood Markets dropped up to 5.6% early Tuesday but trimmed some losses, trading around $107.67 by 11:16 a.m. EST. The stock fluctuated between $102.60 and $108.34, with roughly 10.2 million shares exchanged.

(Reuters) Policy uncertainty remains a hurdle. Last week,

IREN stock price whipsaws after a 10% dip as bitcoin falls; traders eye next catalyst

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 11:39 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares tumbled as much as 10% early Tuesday before clawing back some losses to close down 0.5% at $57.52. Trading volume hit roughly 24 million shares by late morning. IREN remains caught in the volatile “bitcoin proxy” trade, with mining stocks frequently amplifying bitcoin’s swings. These stocks can pivot sharply when traders decide to reduce risk. IREN also falls into a second category: AI-linked data centers. This dual focus has been tugging the stock both ways, and lately, the market hasn’t shown much patience. Bitcoin slipped roughly 3%

Grab stock rises even as Wall Street slides after BofA upgrade — what’s next for GRAB

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 10:08 EST — Regular session Shares of Grab Holdings Limited climbed roughly 1.3% to $4.44 in Tuesday morning trading, defying a wider selloff that dragged major U.S. stock indexes down over 1%. Grab’s shares have been sliding for months, making this move significant as investors watch for signs the decline might be slowing ahead of quarterly results. BofA pointed out the stock has dropped 32% since Sept. 25, while the Nasdaq gained 3% over the same period. The past week hit Grab particularly hard, with analysts highlighting “oversold” signals—a technical indicator showing heavy selling pressure.

AppLovin stock whipsaws after CapitalWatch report as APP traders look to earnings next

New York, January 20, 2026, 10:26 EST — Regular session underway. AppLovin Corp shares dropped Tuesday following a report from research firm CapitalWatch accusing the advertising software company of connections to illicit money flows.

JPMorgan stock price slips as Trump’s 10% credit card cap deadline puts bank shares under pressure

New York, January 20, 2026, 10:37 EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares fell 0.9% to $309.64 in morning trading, hitting a low of $305.37 earlier. This move shines a new spotlight on a rarely discussed business line for banks: revolving credit. Since credit cards are unsecured, they usually carry higher rates. Imposing a hard cap would crimp the interest income—the spread banks make after covering funding costs. The news hits amid an already jittery market. Traders have been quick to offload financial stocks at the slightest hint that Washington might impose pricing rules on consumer credit, instead

Opendoor stock price slips in choppy session as housing trade cools — what investors watch next

Opendoor stock price slips in choppy session as housing trade cools — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 10:03 EST — Regular session Opendoor Technologies shares slid roughly 4% Tuesday morning, pulling back alongside other housing-related stocks as U.S. markets opened sharply lower. The shift is crucial since Opendoor operates right at the intersection of mortgage rates and home demand. Changes in rates can quickly flip its business: it purchases homes, holds them as inventory, then flips them for resale. Homebuilding updates shaped the mood. D.R. Horton beat estimates but relied heavily on incentives, such as mortgage-rate buydowns, where the builder covers upfront costs to lower buyers’ mortgage rates, to sustain orders. Executive
