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.THE STRAITS TIMES Index ended the year on a softer note yesterday, down 0.1 per cent at 1,393, a 7 per cent fall on the year.
Dealers said the closing price, above the 1,400 psychological barrier, was significant. "As long as it stayed above 1,250 by the close of the year, we could see it at the 1,900 to 2,000 levels next year," said one analyst, who expects buying interest to emerge in the new year. Brilliant Manufacturing, the most actively traded stock, closed down 1 per cent.
