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.JAPANESE STOCKS finished marginally higher after an unexpected upward revision in GDP failed to boost investor confidence in the strength of the nation's economic recovery.
The Nikkei-225 index closed 12.20 points or 0.07 per cent higher at 17,435.17. "The economy has passed its worst period, but we still cannot be sure if it is really back on a recovery track," said one analyst. The market responded negatively to upwardly revised gross domestic product data, but the impact of the higher yen waned later in the day.
