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.EQUITIES fell sharply, hit by heavy falls on Wall Street and other bourses. The FTSE 100 bore the brunt of the selling, ending the day 117.1 lower at 5,118.7. It has now lost all the gains made since the start of the year. The second liners fared slightly better, with the FTSE 250 losing 63.2 to 4,648.8 and the small cap losing 13.1 to 2,068.2.
Enterprise Oil, the exploration and production company, was the worst blue-chip performer, losing 12 per cent after poor interims.
