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.WALL STREET was mixed in late morning as investors cashed in profits from the recent run-up in the technology sector.
By midday the Dow Jones was up 87 points, or 0.79 per cent, at 11,034, but the technology-heavy Nasdaq fell 27 points, or 0.81 per cent, to 3,393. Analysts said Wall Street was reaping some profits from the market's recent big gains. "It's natural for the Nasdaq to start taking some profits," said one market strategist. He called recent gains "mind-boggling".
