Bella Albrecht More New Stock Analyst Reports On Jan. 9, President Donald Trump called for a temporary 10% cap on credit card interest rates, effective Jan. 20. The statement was mostly a call to action and did not contain any policy or legislative announcements.

We would expect Capital One, Synchrony (SYF), and Bread to suffer from heavy losses under a cap that low.
