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.WITH MOST traders on holiday, and no figures to keep the eight- day rally running, Wall Street stocks traded down slightly during the day, with telecoms shares the biggest losers.
In early afternoon trading, the benchmark Dow Jones index had fallen 0.4 per cent to 9,284, while the Nasdaq index was down 0.7 per cent to 2,166.
"Stocks have moved up so dramatically that investors are beginning to realise that some large stocks have been overvalued," said one analyst.
