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.

AN OVERNIGHT rise on Wall Street brought calm to anxious Asian markets yesterday, with the Hang Seng Index ending up nearly 1 per cent at 10,055, after being up over 2 per cent earlier in the day. The surge was led by property stocks, as a report announcing a rise in apartment sales was published.

Dealers said market sentiment was very cautious, with investors still unsure if Wall Street can stabilise. "Traders are waiting for a chance to bargain-hunt at lower levels" said one analyst.
