Alternative to BBC market data page?

Adding even more value to the licence fee, the BBC have stopped covering market data, I assume numbers are too complicated for their core audience and anyway they like to 'curate' any data they do supply to fit the agenda.

Market data - BBC News

This Reuters page is one alternative but does anyone know of any other good 'markets on a page' resources?

Markets data - stock market, bond, equity, commodity prices - FT.com

Following this - I've used that page for years. There has been a message saying they were going to at the end of November, but they have done it early. 

Not sure I need a licence any more - we literally never watch TV. 

Microsoft money is customisable, but I've never tried - the front page always appears very messy and all over the place.

Stock market information - no more BBC — MoneySavingExpert Forum

Is this any good?

I use the yahoo finance FTSE page, it also shows currency rates, oil price and other markets in the sidebars

They "curate" market data? 

"We'd better not show the FTSE 250 is up 2% - doesn't support our overall agenda in support of the Great Reset".

Read one of their 'useful' articles on inflation or interest rates or government borrowing, lots of 'waffle' but really hard to find even the baseline numbers let alone any comparison with a previous period, discussion of whether the numbers are inflation adjusted, numbers as a percentage of GD or anything remotely useful.

Has a similar snapshot, but doesn't have oil, gas etc on the same page. 

Very strange decision by the BBC.

Has the BBC given any indication as to why they've dropped it? Cost cutting??

Seems a reasonable cost cut, there are hundreds of sources of info for the markets, no need for the bbc to replicate it.
