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 closed up 388.24 points at 13,952.75, a 2.9 per cent gain. Shares were buoyed by bargain-hunting ahead of a planned tie- up between Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank and Fuji Bank and a public holiday today.
Renewed buying emerged towards the close on the yen's decline against the dollar to near 116.
Earlier in the day, gains were eroded by the yen's rally which put immediate pressure on international blue chips and exporters.
