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 ended up 73.25 points, or 0.45 per cent, at 16,300.75, with the general market boosted by bargain-hunting for smaller stocks by institutions, traders said.
However, activity slowed in afternoon trade as the index failed to break the 16,400 resistance level and gave way to profit-taking, ahead of the weekend and the release of US unemployment data later on Friday. Next week's release of Japan's GDP data also curbed activity, brokers said.
