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 STOCK market closed higher yesterday as Wall Street's strength offset fears of a domestic monetary tightening.
The FTSE 100 ended 50.5 up at 6,412 in thin volume, while the midcap finished 30.6 better at 5,771.5 and the Small Cap posted a 11.9 rise to 2,572.7. Sentiment was underpinned by strong performance in the Dow, but the London rally was constrained by worries that the Bank of England might hike rates on Thursday.
