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 BLUE-CHIP Xetra DAX index rose 23.98 points to close at 4,705.3, while the floor DAX climbed 1.18 per cent to 4,717.7, as traders said some good corporate results amid low turnover helped the market halt two days of losses.

Shares in retailer Metro gained 5.9 per cent as it announced a news conference tomorrow on an "important strategic development" amid rumours of a deal with either Wal-Mart of the US or a French firm. Commerzbank's third-quarter income outshone its rivals, lifting its share price 1.67 per cent.
