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.

US STOCKS were mixed as investors placed bets before a flood of second-quarter earnings reports that are likely to show profits growing at the fastest pace in almost two years.

The Dow Jones industrial Average ended up 7.28, or 0.1 per cent at 11,200.98, a new record. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 4.18, or 0.3 per cent, to 1399.10. The Nasdaq lost 2.40, or 0.1 per cent, to 2790.67. Eight stocks declined for every seven that gained on the NYSE.
