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 ended a dull session slightly lower yesterday as the lack of corporate developments and economic news prompted dealers to remain on the sidelines.

The FTSE 100 closed 15.1 lower at 6,353.1. An uncertain start on Wall Street failed to spur London and volume failed to reach a billion for only the fourth time in a month. Second liners were also sluggish, with the mid cap ending 16 points down at 5718.3 and the Small Cap posting a 5.4 rise to 2566.1.
