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.STOCKS CLOSED down yesterday, reversing their brief surge as US markets headed lower, while the CAC-40 was also dragged down by losses in France Telecom. The index ended down 0.43 per cent at 5,373.91, after earlier hitting a new peak of 5,443.23.
Hotel group Accor was the top gainer, ending up 7 per cent on news that it has sold its 50 per cent stake in Europcar to Volkswagen for 204m euros. Analysts say the move focuses attention on the hotel and services sectors.
