Synchrony Financial stock slides on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap push — what to know now

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 09:51 EST — Regular session Synchrony Financial shares were down about 7% at $80.80 on Monday morning, as investors sold credit-card lenders after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates. The proposal matters for Synchrony because it leans heavily on interest income from store and co-branded cards. A hard cap would compress what lenders earn on revolving balances, just as the sector heads into a fresh earnings cycle. Trump said on Friday he was calling for a 10% cap starting Jan. 20, but offered no details on how the plan

New York, January 12, 2026, 09:50 EST — Regular session Shares of Sandisk Corp (SNDK.O) rose 2.9% to $388.33 in early trading on Monday after slipping as much as 5.1% earlier in the session, a reminder of how jumpy this tape has become.

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:45 ET — Regular session Intel Corp shares slipped 1.8% to $44.73 Monday morning, pressured by cautious analyst commentary following last week’s surge in the chipmaker’s stock. The wider market showed weakness as well, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF falling roughly 0.4% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF retreating about 0.7%. The dip is significant because Intel’s rally owes more to a long-term wager than to immediate earnings. Investors are banking on its manufacturing revival and U.S. political support to reshape outlooks for 2026 and later. Monday’s trading highlighted how swiftly that optimism can clash

The shift happens as investors brace for Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index report for December, set for 8:30 a.m. ET.

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. Mastercard slid 1.7% and American Express fell 4.6%. The pressure followed President Donald Trump’s call for a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates at 10%, starting Jan. 20, without spelling out how it would be enforced.

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.
