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.A WEAKENING yen failed to cheer the Nikkei index, which ended little changed at 14,183.45. Downward pressure on shares from the unwinding of corporate cross-shareholdings ahead of the fiscal year-end cancelled out the boost to exporters provided by the softer yen, analysts said.
The yen hit a three-month low of 123.18 to the dollar yesterday after the Bank of Japan flooded the financial system with liquidity for the third consecutive day. The BoJ move pushed overnight rates to almost zero, and long-term rates also fell.
