Klarna Group plc stock (KLAR) slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap talk jolts lenders, lawsuit deadline looms

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:18 (ET) — Regular session Klarna Group plc shares dropped 4.8% to $29.96 in early Monday trading, down from an opening price of $32.33, as investors digested new policy risks tied to U.S. consumer lending and increased legal scrutiny on the recently listed fintech. (Investing.com) The shift follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to cap credit-card interest rates at 10% for one year beginning Jan. 20. Wall Street experts warned that such a wide-ranging cap would almost certainly need Congress approval, with slim chances of making it through. Still, the announcement rattled stocks in lenders

Moderna (MRNA) stock slips after $1.9B 2025 revenue view and cost cuts — what to watch next

New York, January 12, 2026, 09:55 EST — Regular session Moderna (MRNA.O) shares dropped about 2% to $33.60 early Monday after the biotech forecasted around $1.9 billion in revenue for 2025 and lowered its GAAP operating-expense forecast for that year—the U.S. accounting standard. The stock swung between $35.77 and $33.33 in a volatile session. (ACCESS Newswire) This update is crucial as Moderna strives to reassure investors it can sustain itself on seasonal vaccine revenues and an expanding pipeline, rather than relying on pandemic-era demand.

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares dipped slightly in early Monday trading, falling around 0.1% to $184.86. The drop followed a slip in U.S. futures as investors remained wary of big-cap growth stocks. Timing is critical. This week packs a heavy slate of macro data and earnings reports, and traders have quickly sold off AI-related gains whenever bond yields spike or policy risks emerge. Wall Street futures dipped earlier after the White House renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve, raising fresh doubts about the Fed’s independence—a concern that often weighs on rate-sensitive tech

Diageo shares rise as Kenya court keeps $2.3bn Asahi deal moving

London, Jan 12, 2026, 08:20 GMT — Regular session Diageo shares ticked higher Monday following a Kenyan High Court ruling that permitted regulatory approval procedures to proceed for the spirits giant’s planned sale of its East African beer unit to Japan’s Asahi. However, the court put a hold on the deal’s final steps. (MarketScreener UK) This deal is key because it aims to unlock cash and slash leverage — essentially trimming net debt against earnings — just as investors push the Johnnie Walker and Guinness producer to strengthen its balance sheet. Diageo climbed roughly 1.4% to near 1,653 pence, following

DHT Holdings stock faces Monday test as oil rally and VLCC rates collide

DHT Holdings stock faces Monday test as oil rally and VLCC rates collide

New York, January 11, 2026, 20:46 (EST) — Market closed DHT Holdings Inc shares dipped a bit on Friday, but as the U.S. session opens Monday, it’s broader macro news that’s driving the action for the crude tanker owner. For DHT, freight rates are the immediate indicator. The company operates a fleet of VLCCs, and its earnings fluctuate with spot tanker rates — the daily cost to haul crude — which can spike when trade routes change or vessels become congested. Oil markets have grown restless again. Shifts in crude prices and export paths can swiftly ripple into tanker demand.
