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.BLUE CHIPS closed modestly lower after a see-sawing session dominated by the US market. The FTSE-100 index swung in a 147-point arc, ending 19.1 down at 6,533.1. Overnight strength in the Dow triggered an early rally, which helped the blue-chip index to break its intra-day record. A weak opening on Wall Street triggered selling which wiped out the morning gains. Second-liners fared better, with the FTSE-250 ending up 37.9 at 5887.5 and the Small Cap up 13.8 at 2583.8.
