Visa stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk hits payments names

NEW YORK, January 12, 2026, 13:15 ET — Regular session Shares of Visa Inc dropped Monday, weighed down by investor selling following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit-card interest rates for one year. By 1:15 p.m. ET, Visa had slipped $5.52, or 1.6%, to $344.25. Mastercard shares fell 1.8%, and American Express dipped 4.2%. The proposal zeroes in on banks and card issuers responsible for setting interest rates, leaving networks like Visa untouched. Still, traders see it as a fresh indication that Washington is ready to intervene in consumer finance, a move that often ripples across the entire payments

Dow Jones today: Index slips as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap hits banks, Powell subpoena clouds the Fed

NEW YORK, January 12, 2026, 12:34 EST — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped roughly 100 points, or 0.2%, near midday. The S&P 500 held steady, and the Nasdaq edged up slightly. (Investing.com) Sentiment turned as new political pressure mounted on the Federal Reserve—something traders usually overlook until it becomes unavoidable. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is now grappling with possible indictment linked to his testimony about a renovation project, though he has publicly denied any wrongdoing. (Reuters) Financial stocks slid as President Donald Trump proposed a one-year 10% cap on credit-card interest rates beginning Jan. 20, which could

Dow Jones ETF drops as Trump’s credit-card cap plan and Fed subpoena fight hit banks

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 10:26 EST — Regular session The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) dropped roughly 0.5% Monday morning, mirroring a pullback in blue-chip shares. The market weighed fresh political pressure on the Federal Reserve alongside the White House’s move to limit credit-card interest rates. (Reuters) That’s significant for the Dow since it’s price-weighted, so stocks with higher prices have a bigger impact on the index’s movement. MarketWatch calculated that early declines in American Express and Visa alone shaved roughly 155 points off the Dow’s drop. (MarketWatch) Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a video

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. 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. Analysts said the proposal would likely require legislation, leaving markets to trade the risk before the details exist. (Reuters) Financial stocks broadly slipped on the headline, and the move has pulled in payment processors alongside banks and

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

Financial services stocks brace for CPI, big-bank earnings as XLF heads into Monday

Financial services stocks brace for CPI, big-bank earnings as XLF heads into Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 13:17 EST — Market closed Financial services stocks start the week facing two key drivers: upcoming big-bank earnings and a new U.S. inflation report. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), often seen as a benchmark for U.S. financial stocks, closed Friday 0.3% lower at $55.73. The reason this matters now is straightforward. Bank earnings offer the first major glimpse into profit growth this quarter and reveal credit conditions in the real economy. Inflation figures, meanwhile, have the power to shift expectations for the Federal Reserve and its interest rate trajectory. Small rate changes can

Visa stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card cap talk puts V in focus for Monday

New York, January 11, 2026, 10:35 ET — Market closed Visa Inc (V.N) shares ended Friday at $349.77, slipping $2.47. They’re expected to draw attention again Monday when U.S. markets reopen, after President Donald Trump renewed his push to cap credit-card interest rates at 10% for a year. (Barron’s) The proposal focuses more on the economics of card lending than on the mechanics of payments. But it ultimately hits where investors pay attention to Visa: namely, if policy shifts will alter how banks issue credit and how easily consumers use their cards. Inflation and rate expectations are already carrying much

AmEx (AXP) stock in focus after Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card rates

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 14:40 EST — Market closed American Express shares enter Monday’s trading under pressure following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, starting Jan. 20. (Barron’s) This move hits at the heart of how the industry prices risk on revolving balances, usually expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR. Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, explained in an email that when firms can’t accurately price risk, they tend to slash credit lines or cut off credit altogether. He pointed out that credit cards are

Visa stock dips as shareholder filing flags AI deepfake payment risk ahead of vote

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 10:25 (ET) — Market closed Shares of Visa Inc dipped 0.7% on Friday, closing at $349.77, after a shareholder group filed an SEC notice pushing investors to back a proposal for greater transparency on how the payments giant manages risks linked to AI-driven “deepfake” sexual content. The filing, labeled an “exempt solicitation” — a brief request to influence a vote without a full proxy fight — warned that unchecked exposure could damage Visa’s brand and draw legal and regulatory challenges.

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:05 EST — Market closed Visa Inc shares closed down 0.7% on Friday at $349.77, leaving the stock about 7% below its 52-week high, after a shareholder filing pushed a fresh proposal into focus ahead of the company’s annual meeting. (Visa Investor Relations) The filing matters because it lands in the narrow window when big funds start sizing up proxy ballots and headline risk can whipsaw a steady, “defensive growth” name like Visa. It also comes after two straight down sessions for the stock, at a time when investors have been quick to fade anything

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 19:18 EST — After-hours Visa Inc shares slipped in after-hours trading on Friday, closing down 0.7% at $349.77. Mastercard fell 0.8% and American Express dropped 1.9% in the same session. The move came even as the S&P 500 logged a record close after a mixed U.S. jobs report kept rate-cut hopes alive. U.S. payrolls rose by 50,000 in December and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, a print that helped support expectations for easing later this year — measured in “basis points,” or hundredths of a percentage point.

Visa stock slips as activist group presses for an “independent chair” vote

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:06 PM EST — Regular session Visa shares were down 0.5% at $350.57 on Friday, easing with other consumer-finance names as investors weighed a shareholder push to lock in a permanent separation between the company’s chief executive and board chair roles. Mastercard was little changed and American Express fell about 0.8%. The National Legal and Policy Center, in an “exempt solicitation” filing with the U.S. SEC, urged shareholders to back Proposal 5 on Visa’s 2026 proxy ballot. The proposal asks Visa to adopt a policy requiring that the CEO and chair jobs be held by
