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 HANG SENG index rose 0.5 per cent to 9997.99, led by Sun Hung Kai Properties, the largest developer by capitalisation.

"Money is still flowing in, so people are chasing the stocks up,'' said John Lai, chief investment officer at Nikko Global Asset Management. "But that can't last. No fundamental news is coming out.'' SHKP rose 4 per cent while Hutchison Whampoa, which accounts for a tenth of the weighting in the Hang Seng, rose 1.9 per cent.
