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.SHARES IN GERMANY fell by almost 4 per cent yesterday, reflecting growing concern over possible rises in US interest rates which more than offset news of a 50,000 fall in German unemployment.
A rebound in the euro against the dollar and industrial protests by metal workers also undermined shares in export-based companies. MAN fell 6.52 per cent to 243 euros and Daimler Chrysler shed 4.01 per cent to 82.80 euros.
The DAX index of electronically traded stocks fell 201.77 to 4,850.67.
