BUZZ-US fintechs fall as market meltdown extends to third day

** Shares of U.S. fintech companies fall premarket, extending losses for the third day after President Donald Trump last week announced tariffs on dozens of countries, prompting retaliation from China

** Upstart Holdings UPST.O down 7.6%, Pagaya Technologies PGY.O falls 6.8%, and LendingClub LC.N down 5.6%

** Affirm AFRM.O falls 5.5%, Block XYZ.N slips 5%, and PayPal PYPL.O drops 3.1%

** Analysts have said potential inflationary pressures from tariffs could weigh on consumer spending; market turmoil amid economic uncertainty could further dampen sentiment
