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 NIKKEI 225 average was firm after a fresh burst of buying in the information technology sector briefly drove it through the 19,000 barrier for the first time in more than two years.

The Nikkei finished up 74.09 points at 18,896.21, the highest closing level since 21 August 1997, after reaching a peak of 19,036.08. Traders said the next resistance target for the Nikkei was around 19,200, although many said the strength of the yen, which dilutes overseas earnings, was a particular concern.
