AROUND THE WORLD'S MARKETS: LONDON
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.LEADING SHARES fell sharply as the UK market, which was closed on Monday for the August Bank Holiday, caught up with a steep two-day decline on Wall Street.
The FTSE 100 ended 128.8 points, or 2 per cent, down at 6,246.4. Investors returning from the long weekend found the Dow had lost more than 280 points. "We had to catch up with what the Dow did when we were away and Wall Street doesn't look very convincing today either," said one dealer.
