I have set up a google sheet using:
=googlefinance("INDEXFTSE:MCX","price") for most and a YH finance add in for others =YHFINANCE_QUOTES("BZ=F")

Can also have previous day price to have % change column

Only one I haven't found a ticker for is UK ICE natural Gas, have added gold and bitcoin as extras and reduced coverage of European and Asian bourses.

Can you find the price for gilts, eg TR43?

@michaels

Can you add fund prices in this way?    HSBC global or Rathbone.   

Can you link from MSN Money for example?

There is a search box here for Yahoo finance 'tickers'

Symbol Lookup from Yahoo Finance

and for google finance
Google Finance – Stock-market prices, real-time quotes and business news

Found this for HSBC global but it is an ETF in USD, you could obviously fix the USD bit using the exchange rate
HMWO:LON

I've found this add-on useful for getting data for funds in to a Google sheet

https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/%C2%B5funds/274036499952

 For example, once installed:

=muFunds("nav","GB00B3TYHH97") 

returns the latest price for Vanguard LifeStrategy 60 Acc.  

ISIN code(s) can obviously be stored in separate cell(s) and referred to in the function if preferred.

One more alternative I find for 'at a glance' summary of which major markets are going up/down: Stock Market Index - Major World Indices Live - Investing.com UK

Too many adverts keep popping up . They have a Black Friday sale. Unusual for an investing site !

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

There are hundreds of sources for the Premier League table, but the BBC still show it!

Plus they still publish horse racing results ( quite quickly in fact) despite numerous other places to look.

I’d say that the markets page is accessed less than the footy or horses. People, on this page (me included) are atypical. It’s a judgement, I don’t think it’s a bad one.

The BBC has ‘Public Purposes’ to deliver on.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/governance/mission

I guess provision of market information would fit in the first, but if the same information is available through other impartial sources then it shouldn’t be as high a priority.

I suppose the next question is whether sports should be a priority!
