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 BENCHMARK index closed at a two-year high after Standard & Poor's endorsed Brazil's economy, revising its outlook from negative to stable. The index closed 1.7 per cent up at 13,101, the first closing above 13,000 since October 1997.

The Bovespa is within 1,000 points of its all-time high of 14,005 in July 1997. After Brazil's shock mid-January devaluation the market has recovered steadily, along with the economy. The Bovespa is up 93 per cent this year and 12 per cent up in November.
