Visa stock slides on Trump credit-card rate cap talk as traders brace for bank earnings

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:32 EST — Regular session Visa Inc shares fell 1.4% to $344.84 in late-morning trading, tracking a selloff in consumer finance names.

JPMorgan stock drops as Trump pushes 10% credit-card rate cap, with earnings up next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:32 a.m. EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares fell about 2% to $322.55 in morning trading on Monday after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap that would limit credit card interest rates to 10%. “It would take an Act of Congress for such rate caps to be in place,” UBS Global analysts wrote, while Seaport Research analyst Bill Ryan said “affordability has become a top concern.” (Reuters) The move matters because credit cards are a high-yield business for big banks, and a rate cap would cut straight into what lenders

Capital One stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap spooks lenders

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 08:13 EST — Premarket Shares of Capital One Financial dropped roughly 10% in premarket Monday after investors offloaded credit-card and consumer-lending stocks amid fresh chatter about rate caps. The squeeze landed hard on a business built around spreads. Credit-card interest powers issuer profits, and a 10% cap would plunge well below the industry’s current rates. The bids quickly evaporated. Synchrony Financial and Bread Financial tumbled between 10% and 11% in early trading. American Express slipped about 4%, while Visa and Mastercard each dropped roughly 2%. On the flip side, alternative lenders gained ground: Affirm rose

XRP price today: Ripple token slips near $2 in India as Powell probe jars markets

MUMBAI, Jan 12, 2026, 16:57 IST — The market has closed. XRP dipped on Monday, lingering just below the $2 level as traders digested new political tensions involving the U.S. Federal Reserve and braced for crucial U.S. inflation figures. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant since crypto markets have lately responded less to token news and more to quick shifts in rates and risk appetite. Powell’s showdown with the White House weakened the dollar and sent funds toward safe havens, forcing traders to sift through what happens next. (Reuters) Rate expectations are shifting.
