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.GERMAN shares fell as investors were reluctant to take positions amid a lull in corporate news and a weak opening on Wall Street. The DAX- 30 fell 0.17 per cent to 5,391.36. "A small consolidation like this is normal," said Jurgen Gries, trader at Merck Finck & Co in Munich. "There was very low volume today."
RWE rose 2.5 per cent; the company, which could be overtaken in electricity output if Veba and Viag merge, repeated its upbeat sales outlook. Die Welt reported that RWE wanted to boost annual turnover in its energy division.
