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.STOCKS FELL for the third day in a row as worries about the yen's strength outweighed the positive effects of a record gain on Wall Street.
The Nikkei 225 closed down 188.87 points - 1.06 per cent - at 17,666.29. "The strong yen is responsible for today's decline. Electronics shares, for example, would have performed much better without it," said one trader.
Most shares in the high-technology and electronics sectors ended the session lower.
