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.It's been a go-go time for Johnson Fry's two utilities investment trusts, known in the market as one and two. In three months assets per share have grown from 125.95p to 132.53p for the JF number one trust and from 116.96p to 123.78p for the second trust. Shares of the two have responded, with the first trust up from 75p in August to 113p and the second going from 65p to 103p. The response this week to the utilities tax should add to the JF windfall.
Amid yesterday's mayhem Brent International, the chemical group, attracted some intriguing deals. The shares climbed off their 12-month low, gaining 4p to 74p. On trading considerations they seem underpriced and a bidder could be tempted.
