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.

They said yesterday they had sold in response to "strong demand from new institutional investors". The shares remained unchanged at 276.5p.
The board of Merchant Retail Group, owner of the Perfume Shop and Joplings, has snapped up 475,000 shares over the last three days. The stock closed up 1p yesterday at 29.5p. The group recently released better than expected interim profits, but still made a loss of pounds 170,000 before tax, after the cost of opening new Perfume Shop outlets. The house broker, Charterhouse Tilney Securities, issued a buy note earlier this week.
