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.THE DOW fell on concern that the Federal Reserve will signal an intention tomorrow to raise rates. However, the Nasdaq set its 55th record of the year as investors dived into hi-techs. A Fed bias to higher rates, which could see rates rise twice next year, "could give us a 10 per cent correction,'' said Robert Bloom, chief investment officer of Friends, Ivory & Sime.
The Dow fell 1 per cent to 11,144.27. The Nasdaq rose 30.83 points, 0.8 per cent, to 3,783.89.
