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.

SHARES CLOSED sharply lower yesterday, after a weak opening on Wall Street sparked a late round of profit-taking and pushed Footsie back below the 5,800 barrier.

The FTSE-100 index ended the day 110.3 lower at 5743.9, mirroring the Dow's opening loss. The smaller indices proved more resilient. The Mid Cap finished 24.3 lower at 4901.7, while the Small Cap fell 5.9 to 2065.0. Speculation of corporate activity and positive analysts' comment on Kingfisher sent the retail giant over 5 per cent higher. Market Report, page 21
