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.WEAK NOVEMBER money supply figures saw South African shares drift slightly lower yesterday. By the close of trading, the All Share Index had dipped 0.1 per cent to 5,430, a 12 per cent fall for the year, and 35 per cent down on the peak in April 1997.
Anglogold, the mining company, shed 2.8 per cent, as a result of a lacklustre bullion price, while bank shares slid after strong money-supply growth figures raised concerns that interest rate reductions might be delayed.
