Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE GERMAN stock market closed more than 2 per cent weaker as substantial losses in its most heavily weighted stock, Deutsche Telekom, and in utility Veba dragged it lower in late trade.
The DAX closed 2.39 per cent down at 5,189.92 points. "The 5,200-point line has to hold, otherwise it doesn't look too good," one trader said. He said any further losses today could prove damaging, especially now that the index has broken a key support level at 5,200 points. Utilities Veba and Viag fell victim to profit-taking.
