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 DOW Jones index traded higher as technology stocks moved upwards again after their recent plunge. At midday the Dow was up 107 points at 10,670. The technology-laden Nasdaq composite index rose 30 points to 2,428, after slumping 50 points on Monday.

One trader said: "The Internet bubble burst a bit on Monday but that didn't seem to drag down the overall market and today even the Internet sector has stabilised."
