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.FRENCH SHARES ended at a new record close, erasing the day's losses as the Dow's advance gained momentum and investors shrugged off the news that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the Finance Minister, had resigned over a corruption case in which he protests his innocence. The CAC-40 closed up 0.2 per cent at 4,898.5.
Analysts said the loss of a favourite political figure and free-market advocate would have been a much harsher blow before the launch of the euro zone.
