Stock market information - no more BBC

Normally I look at the BBC website to get information about the level of the major markets (Europe, USA and Asia). Unfortunately the BBC have stopped this service, as a cost cutting measure.
Anyone know of an alternative site where I can find this information?

Yahoo Finance usually works - eg a google of 'yahoo stoxx 50' gives a link to the Euro Stoxx 50, with a graph for 1 day up to 5 years or "all", whatever that will mean for each: EURO STOXX 50 I (^STOXX50E) Stock Price, News, Quote & History - Yahoo Finance0

There are lots of places to look. eg Financial Times is comprehesive , trustnet.com for fund prices, MSN Money, Google etc etc. What data do you want?0

Many thanks, just what I was looking for.

I could be wrong but formed the impression that OP likes the BBC high level dashboard page, so is presumably seeking something similar rather than knowing where to find loads of detail?
https://markets.ft.com/data is potentially an alternative to that Bloomberg page above, but isn't so comprehensive.5 -

Yes, just looking for the value of each of the main indicies. Mainly just curiosity whether they are going up or down.

The BBC one is good and clear, so a shame they are dropping it . They dropped it from the BBC news app a few months ago.
I see with the Bloomberg one if you click on a specific market to get the 3Y and 5Y change, they want you to subscribe first.1 -
You could just create a watchlist on google finance with a list of all the markets you want included.....simple and quite up to date.0
