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.HONG KONG stocks closed higher in choppy trade, with telecom and utility stocks outperforming other blue chips. The benchmark Hang Seng index finished up 221.72 points or 1.72 per cent at 13,127.02. Traders said investors were cautious above the 13,000 level.
One analyst said: "There is not across-the-board buying at 13,000. I think many people believe that at 13,000 stocks are overpriced, but selected companies are doing quite well."
