US December inflation came in milder than expected, weighing down on all three major US stock indices on Tuesday. The DJIA finished down 398 points or 0.8%, at 49,191; the S&P 500 fell 13 points or 0.2%, to 6,963; and the Nasdaq inched down 24 points or 0.1%, to 23,709.

JPMorgan (JPM.US) saw its stock slump by 4.2% despite better-than-expected results last quarter, as US President Donald Trump's proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% affected bank stocks. Goldman Sachs (GS.US) also dipped over 1%, while other financials like Mastercard (MA.US) and Visa (V.US) shed more than 3% and 4% respectively, making them two of the worst performers of the day.
