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.Coffee prices have boiled over in both New York and London, as traders worry about low global supplies of arabica coffee, the higher grade of coffee mainly produced in Latin America. Prices rose 16.8 per cent and reached 20-year highs in New York this week.
Pork Belly prices slid 6.7 per cent as an increased amount of pork came on to the market in anticipation of increased seasonal demand for bacon in the US. Prices of pork bellies rose earlier this month on concern that supplies were too low as summer approached.
Orange Juice. Record supplies from bumper crops in Florida and Brazil have seen prices fall close to last month's four-year low.
Soybeans. Robust demand boosted prices this week. The National Oilseed Processors Association in the US crushed 25.5 million bushels for soybean meal and soybean oil for the week ending 28 May, against 22.5 million bushels the week before. Copyright: IOS & Bloomberg
