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.

BRAZILIAN shares picked up another 2.4 per cent yesterday, extending the stellar gains in the week, amid growing optimism that the financial crisis in Latin America's biggest economy has bottomed out.

Sao Paulo's Bovespa index climbed to 10,658 points, its highest level in seven-and-a-half months. Huge gains in a handful of second-tier stocks fuelled the advance. On top of Monday's rise of 8.8 per cent, the index has now gained more than 11 per cent in just two days.
