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.

THE GERMAN stock market hit a closing high for the year after robust gains in banking shares and a solid opening on Wall Street.

The DAX-30 index ended up 0.57 per cent, or 31.85 points, at 5,638.95 points. Bank shares surged after Morgan Stanley lifted its 12-month price targets on Deutsche Bank and HypoVereinsbank due to proposed changes to German taxation which could benefit banks.

Deutsche Bank climbed 3.57 per cent to 66.45 euros, while HypoVereinsbank rose 4.31 per cent to 68.32 euros.
