Market Report: Taking Stock
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.

In July CG, an arm of the South African Amalia Corporation, signed a deal with the Liberian Government which gave it access to the country's mineral resources, ranging from gold to offshore oil. The consortium could eventually acquire a 25 per cent stake in the venture. CG arrived on Ofex in April at around 40p a share.
Bickerton, a building contractor, has won contracts worth around pounds 3.6m for educational buildings. The group, operating in public and private sectors, held at 43p against a 40p April placing. It is expected to make profits of pounds 825,000, up from pounds 232,000, this year.
