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.
Your support makes all the difference.Whispers from Ireland suggest Cambridge Mineral Resources, which arrived on Ofex in February, is edging closer to finding diamonds at its Inishowen prospect in County Donegal. The company is thought to be so encouraged by studies of samples that it is aiming to start drilling next year. CMR, unchanged at 12p, has recently won another three gemstone prospecting licences, near to Inishowen. It is also seeking gemstones in Spain and Sweden.
Arlen, the electrical group, fell 3p to 34p, lowest for more than a year. It is yet another casualty of the strong pound. Chairman Greville Howard has made it clear the group, making small electrical items, needs acquisitions to generate growth. Profits around pounds 4m are expected this year, down from pounds 4.55m.
