Two major developments are shaking up the financial landscape this week. First, President Trump has called for a 10% cap on credit card interest rates—a bold move that could reshape consumer lending dynamics. Meanwhile, luxury retailer Saks Global has filed for bankruptcy, signaling ongoing pressure in the high-end retail sector. These stories reflect broader tensions in the economy: policymakers attempting to rein in consumer costs while traditional retail continues its structural decline. For those tracking macroeconomic trends, both developments underscore the volatility and shifting dynamics across financial markets.

Interesting, traditional finance always loves to tinker with these policy prescriptions before a collapse... I'm more concerned about which big fish's funding chains will be pushed onto public chains by this storm. The moment for dormant wallets to wake up is coming, isn't it?

A 10% interest rate cap? Sounds good, but I don't believe it. Politicians always talk nicely but never follow through.

It's really ironic that Saks is bankrupt; high-end retail can't withstand it anymore. It seems even the wealthy's money is starting to tighten.

Interest rate capped at 10%? Sounds good, but can it really be implemented? I'm a bit skeptical.

In fact, an interest rate cap of 10% doesn't solve the problem at all. Isn't this just political showmanship...

Credit card interest rates capped at 10%? Sounds good, but can it really be implemented? It feels like just another political show...

Credit card interest rates capped at 10%? Sounds good, but can it really be implemented? Policies and reality are always worlds apart.

Is Trump doing this again? It just feels like a political show. Who would actually buy in if it really drops to 10%?

10% interest rate cap? Trump's move here looks like a political play to me. Will it really be implemented...
