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 NIKKEI 225 closed flat as investors took profits after it surged past 17,000 in the morning for the first time since 30 March last year, traders said. At the close, the Nikkei was 8.94 points, 0.05 per cent, up at 16,855.63. June Nikkei futures stood 70 points higher at 16,850.
The index leapt above 17,000 after a record close in New York fuelled hopes of a global rally, and as sharp interest-rate cuts in the euro zone led to talk that investors would look to shift funds to Japan.
