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.The FTSE 100 Index of leading shares will be calculated every 15 seconds from February 23, FTSE International, said yesterday. At present the index is calculated every minute.
FTSE International said it meant the index would reflect market movements faster and enable increased visibility for investors following the UK market.
Meanwhile, the options market LIFFE said it would introduce an electronic trading system for equity derivatives on individual stocks on 30 November. The new system, called LIFFE CONNECT, will allow investors to trade derivatives on electronic screens, using a system that matches buy and sell orders.
