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.

Gold prices firmer

Gold finished the session slightly firmer, consolidating Wednesday's sharp gains in brisk trading, dealers said. The metal closed at $389.50, up on Wednesday night's close of $389.

Wednesday's gains were triggered by a shortage in New York and London, which took spot prices above forward prices for the first time since a brief period in the 1970s and ensured a subsequent rally. The Bank of England considered putting out a statement dismissing rumours that a bullion bank was on the brink of collapse but decided that such a statement was unnecessary.
