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.

STOCKS ROSE almost 5 per cent as bargain hunters returned after gloomy economic news and dollar weakness had battered shares on Monday. The Xetra DAX closed 214.40 higher at 4,185.39, while the DAX ended up 122.41 at 4,156.64.

Market sentiment remained subdued by the likelihood of more profit warnings.

Among gainers, computer giant SAP rose 6 per cent amid reports it would report strong third-quarter figures this week, while Deutsche Bank gained 5 per cent after recent heavy falls.
