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 Hong Kong market plunged a further 155 points to 7,528.88, knocking a further 2 per cent off the market capitalisation yesterday, following a 6 per cent fall last week.
The Hang Seng index has now fallen 38 per cent from the high point a year ago.
In addition to the market's existing worries about rising interest rates, political and economic problems in mainland China and the threat of a trade war between China and the US, in which Hong Kong companies operating in China could lose their main export markets, investors are now worried about the continuing slump in Hong Kong property prices.
