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 LONDON Stock Exchange is to relax its rules to allow gilt- edged market makers (GEMMs) to opt out of dealing in index-linked government stock.

The exchange plans next month to introduce a new, separate register of GEMMs which trade in index-linked stock. Now all registered GEMMs have to trade in all classes of gilt-edged stock.

The new rules mean GEMMs can register for index-linked stock, for all conventional gilts, or all gilts.
