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.

TRADEPOINT, the stock market in miniature, fell to a new low, down 4p to 32p, capitalising the company at around pounds 10m. A 145,000 share trade at 29p did the damage. The little share dealing facility has found life difficult and has not achieved the support many anticipated when the Stock Exchange introduced its controversial order-driven trading. The shares once touched 180.75p.

SANDWICH Bank & Crust Co has at last arrived on Ofex, nearly three weeks behind schedule. Floated at 30p the shares traded at 25.5p. A row with some underwriters seems to be responsible for the delay. The offer was undersubscribed with the company raising pounds 465,000.

DRINGS, the Bath stonemason, is parting company with its stockbroker, Ellis & Partners. It expects at best to get to a break-even position this year. The shares slumped 0.75p to 2.25p.
