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.

A SURGE in banking shares helped offset a fall in telecom stocks on the Frankfurt market yesterday.

The benchmark Xetra Dax finally closed up almost 1 per cent at 5,226.64, with gains in Deutsche Bank accounting for a large proportion of the rise. Deutsche Bank closed up over 5 per cent at 50.76 euros amid hopes of solid results from merger partner Bankers Trust.

Shares in Deutsche Telekom fared less well, finishing more than 2 per cent lower amid jitters over its merger with Telecom Italia.
