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.

Russian bonds

RUSSIA re-opened trade in domestic bonds for the first time since the government's debt default in August. Dealers were dismayed by the decision to limit annual yields on bonds to 120 per cent, significantly below pre- default levels. As a result, bond trade was very thin, with only 1 million roubles of Treasury bonds traded. Before the August default, daily Treasury bond trade exceeded 4 billion roubles.
