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.

EUREX, the German-Swiss futures exchange, is preparing to allow London- based firms to become full members next year, according to its chief executive, Dr Jorg Franke. The move follows complaints from Eurex's 65 London-based members at a meeting with Dr Franke in London yesterday about their second-class status within the exchange.

Dr Franke also said yesterday he was confident of the outcome of a vote at the Chicago Board of Trade on 27 January to agree a global alliance between the Chicago and Frankfurt exchanges. The deal would further dent the ambitions of London's futures exchange, Liffe.
