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.

IN QUIET trading, shares in Paris lost early gains and the blue chip CAC-40 index finished 16.17 points down at 4,159.8. At one time it was riding at a 4,224.46 peak. Tokyo's firmness and corporate results inspired the early strength.

Vivendi was the most active stock, falling 1.3 per cent. Banks were weak, with Societe Generale, BNP and Paribas giving ground. Second-line shares moved ahead, helped by profit upgrades. The SBF-250 smaller companies index rose 18.1 points to 2,651.74.
