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.Siebec, which specialises in industrial control components, gained 12 per cent last week after it received regulatory clearance in the US to proceed with the acquisition of Simulation Sciences, which will enable it to expand a line of software that helps companies control costs. This is one of a string of acquisitions by Siebe. Last month it announced the purchase of Eurotherm, which will make Siebe the world's largest maker of assembly line controls.
Engineering and construction stocks gained last week as the pound fell against the mark and dollar. "If earnings hold up, the industrials are looking cheap," said Graham Campbell at Edinburgh Fund Managers. "We've been increasing our weightings."
