Bank of America stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call hits ahead of BAC earnings

Bank of America stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call hits ahead of BAC earnings

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%, set to start on Jan. 20, though he didn’t clarify how the plan would be enforced. The move adds fresh policy risk for Bank of America and other lenders as trading restarts. Banking groups warned this could “reduce credit availability.” Bank of America, American Express, and Capital One did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. “When companies can’t price the risk properly, they’ll just reduce credit lines,” said Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, highlighting that credit cards are unsecured loans.

Bank of America stock slides on India regulator leak claim as BAC earnings near

Bank of America Corp shares were down 2.8% in after-hours trading on Wednesday as investors weighed a report that India’s markets regulator found the bank improperly shared confidential information ahead of a 2024 block trade. The stock last traded at $55.64 after moving between $55.45 and $57.21 in the session. The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the Securities and Exchange Board of India issued a “show cause notice” — a request to explain why enforcement action should not follow — tied to an alleged leak of material non-public information, meaning price-sensitive details not yet public, about a $180 million sale of shares in Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC; Bank of America declined to comment and Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

Strategists polled by Reuters see the S&P 500 at 7,490 by end-2026, implying gains of just over 9% from end-2025 as investors weigh Fed succession, election risk and the durability of the AI boom. A slim majority—56%—also forecast a market correction in the coming months. “The most under-appreciated tail risk for 2026 is that the Fed eases monetary policy more than economic conditions justify, inadvertently reigniting inflation,” said Lale Akoner, a global market strategist at eToro.

Bank of America stock (BAC) holds near 52-week high after accounting change trims key capital ratio

Bank of America stock (BAC) holds near 52-week high after accounting change trims key capital ratio

Bank of America Corp said it changed accounting methods for certain tax-related equity investments, an adjustment that would have cut its common equity tier 1 ratio — a key measure of bank capital — by 13 basis points as of Sept. 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis. Applied retrospectively, retained earnings as of Sept. 30 fell $1.7 billion and CET1 capital would have decreased about $2.1 billion, it said; it also estimated its third-quarter effective tax rate would have been about 20% versus 10.4% previously reported. The lender said the new methods are preferable because they “better align the financial statement presentation with the economic impact” of the investments. SEC
