Alternative to BBC market data page?

This seems the most like the old BBC page, if you scroll down a bit to World Markets.

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

Maybe lack of clicks from their typical bake off celebrity show audience?

Seems fine for todays movements, but there does seem to be any history for say one year, five year performance etc.
The only one I can find with that info of charge is Yahoo.

I miss the BBC version already, it was handy for seeing past trends, over 1m, 1y, 5y etc.

I've just found Google offer such a feature, without having to pay for it, or sign in: https://www.google.com/finance/?hl=en

You can see the past trends on Yahoo as well and that is also free.

Bloomberg are going totally behind a paywall. Another nail in the coffin of free access to unbiased market commentary. 

The BBC business page has long been a waste of time. Quality journalism is a thing of the past.

That is true. I prefer the Google one though as it's less cluttered.
