Uber stock dips on NYC tipping-law setback as delivery, safety risks stay in focus

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 13:28 ET — The regular session is underway.

Uber slipped 0.1% to $82.45 in early afternoon trading. The companies had pushed for a preliminary injunction to halt rules mandating a tip option at checkout, including a suggested minimum 10% tip. But Judge George Daniels ruled the regulations “advance the city’s goals of enhancing cost transparency at the time of checkout.” (Reuters) The move comes as delivery platforms grapple with stricter

New York, January 20, 2026, 15:51 EST — Regular session American Express (AXP) shares dropped 3.3% to $352.84 in late New York trading Tuesday, brushing close to the session low.

Hoskinson vs Garlinghouse Gets Ugly as U.S. CLARITY Crypto Bill Splits Industry

WASHINGTON, Jan 20, 2026, 06:13 EST Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson slammed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse over the latest draft of the U.S. “CLARITY” crypto bill, urging the industry to “fight for what’s right” instead of settling for a bank-friendly compromise. Garlinghouse had praised lawmakers, calling the frameworks “workable” and insisting “clarity beats chaos.” Ripple has yet to comment on the criticism, Benzinga reported. (Benzinga) The Senate Banking Committee has postponed its planned “markup” — the session to debate and vote on bill amendments — following Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s statement that his company cannot back the current version.

Financial services stocks face a Tuesday test as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap deadline nears

NEW YORK, January 19, 2026, 13:33 EST — Market closed Financial services stocks reopened Tuesday amid uncertainty over card lenders. President Donald Trump has proposed capping credit card interest rates at 10% for one year starting Jan. 20, though he didn’t specify how it would be enforced. Banks quickly pushed back, warning that tighter credit could result. JPMorgan Chase CFO Jeremy Barnum said broad price caps would cause people to “lose access to credit.” Currently, average credit card rates hover around 22%, while U.S. card balances hit $1.23 trillion in Q3. A Vanderbilt University study suggests a 10% cap might
