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.

A LATE RALLY helped Footsie to end a volatile week on a confident note - up 124.5 points at 4,823.4. Mid cap shares were also higher but once again the small cap contingent was in retreat. Talk of asset switching out of Government stocks into equities and bigger than expected bank rate cuts in Ireland and Portugal were cited as other favourable influences.

Shares mauled in the bear marketled the Footsie rally with US fund manager Amvescap rising 53p to 333p. Derek Pain, page 22
