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.Soyabean futures rose 16.4 per cent after the US government reported strong exports. This is even as Brazil, the world's second-largest grower, has harvested an expected record crop. Demand could erode US reserves to a 20-year low by the autumn.
Crude Oil prices rose 4.84 per cent after reports of large declines in refined-product inventories. Petrol stockpiles have fallen in the US, and demand from refiners for crude oil is expected to rise as they produce more petrol.
Coffee fell back last week by 11 per cent. The Association of Coffee Producing Countries recommended an extra 500,000 60-kilo bags of arabica coffee should be exported in the first half of the year to alleviate shortages. This should ease pressure on retailers to put up prices. Copyright: IOS & Bloomberg
