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.NERVOUSNESS ahead of a $15bn auction of five-year Treasury bonds expected late last night weighed heavily. By midday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 102.58, almost 1 per cent, at 10,605.12.
The yield on the benchmark 30-year bond hit a 22-month high of 6.25 per cent before edging lower. "That is probably going to set the tone," said Padhraic Garvey, senior bond strategist at ABN Amro. The stocks that contributed most to the fall were JP Morgan, which lowered the index by 14.56 points, General Motors, 12.35 points, and AT&T, 9.81 points.
