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 NIKKEI 225 index rose to a six-week high as Wall Street's rally on Monday night eased concerns that exporters' earnings would be hurt by Brazil's currency devaluation and slower global growth.
The Nikkei rose 173 points, or 1.2 per cent, to 14,382, with Honda Motor, Toyota Motor and Pioneer Electronic accounting for a seventh of the index's gain. Honda, which depends on US sales for more than one-third of its revenue, rose 2.7 per cent, while Pioneer, which makes car stereos, compact- disc players and karaoke machines, rose 3 per cent.
