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 CLOSED slightly higher with blue chips largely in limbo as investors focused on technology stocks instead. The Hang Seng closed up 26.8 points or 0.2 per cent at 13,214.4.
Traders said blue chips were being sidelined ahead of next month's US meeting on rates partly because so many of the index stocks were interest- rate sensitive property and banking stocks. The government's planned sale of a tranche of Hang Seng stocks also contributed.
