BBC Market Data Ditched

[rossub]

This was my go to a couple of times a day just to see everything at a glance - major share indexes, currencies, commodities prices. So it’s bloody annoying.

Something similar out there with just the basic data summaries?

Bloomberg do free, delayed, data for all the markets, though it does seem to try hard to push its £1.99/month subscription to you https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/UKX:IND?embedded-c...

Just use the Stocks app on an iPhone

It’s a joke they have dropped the page on cost saving grounds. It should only cost relative pennies.

That being said the same info is available from loads of other places albeit I’m not sure on a UK centric single page summary of the same major markets the bbc one showed.

FT has good markets data page.

If you’re tracking stuff in Excel then Microsoft do a very handy direct link to the share price. I imagine Google do something similar with Sheets.

Yahoo Finance is my go-to app on the phone.

That’s ideal if the summary page remains free!

For me it’s just part of my news reading to stay on top of what everything is doing. Nothing more than that really.

Pathetic penny pinching, though frankly the BBC’s business and finance reporting is terrible.

Anyone use Morningstar? Their fund data has been screwed for about a week, don’t know what’s going on there.
