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.BLUE-CHIP stocks crashed through key support levels as concerns over US interest rates sent jitters through the market. The FTSE 100 shed 148 points, 2.4 per cent, to close at 5,978.4, its lowest since February and 10.3 per cent below the lifetime high set in May.
Chart specialists had warned that a key support area around 6,100 was under pressure. Nick Glydon, chartist at Robert Fleming Securities, said: "The FTSE 100 is set for another 10 per cent drop in the short term."
