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.

AVINASH PERSAUD, one of the highest rated currency analysts in the City, has changed his mind over going to Boston to join Putnam Investments. A spokesman for the former JP Morgan high flyer says that "a personal glitch came up late in the day and he's not going after all".

It's a pity, as Mr Persaud has already left JP Morgan, where he was head of currency research, as I wrote a fortnight ago. Putnam, one of the world's oldest and biggest fund managers, says it is seeking to fill Mr Persaud's job "as a matter of urgency".
