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.

US STOCKS were down as Wall Street was rattled by a jump in bond interest rates to the highest level in a month after the dollar sank to a four-year low against the yen.

The Dow Jones average fell by 40.99 points to 10,947.92, and the NYSE Composite slipped 3.45 points to 636.50. Analysts said the dollar's slide against the yen fuelled speculation that investors may pull money out of US assets and shift to the Japanese markets to exploit the strong yen.
