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 DAX fell as Germany's Ifo business climate index and record US trade deficit data kept the market jittery amid a relative lack of fresh corporate news. The Dax ended down 69 at 5,282 as sentiment across Europe worsened in the afternoon after Wall Street opened.
Earlier in the day the DAX had fallen around 1 per cent on fears of a hike in euro-zone interest rates later this year, after the Ifo index jumped to a 12-month high in August.
