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 surged on a rally in high technology issues after an overnight rise on Wall Street. The Nikkei-225 rose 356.17 points, or 1.98 per cent, to close at 18,348.13.
Foreign buying was heavy ahead of December, when many foreign institutions plan to curtail trading activity to avoid possible problems related to the millennium computer bug. "Basically people are still long-term bullish on the Japanese market, so they're doing some of their buying today," said one analyst.
