If you want to access quick live market information then you could do worse than opening an account with a spread betting company like IG Index.
Also, you don't have to trade with them, if you just open an account (which is free to do) then their data is free. The catch? You'll get the odd email or letter from them. In the example below you can also see that their free charts are also useful.

What are Greece Asking For and Will they Get It?
With Greek Finance Minister Varoufakis touring Europe to get support for their debt proposals, IG talk to James Butterfill, Global Equity Strategist from Coutts, about what the proposals entail and what the Greeks are likely to achieve.
Mr Butterfill suggests that there may be some opportunities for lucky traders but warns that the risks are currently too great for his firm to get involved.
Below, economic historian Garrick Hileman still thinks that the EU and Greece will kick that can down that very long road.
And let's be fair, both sides have form when it comes to that poor unfortunate can.
But there is political kryptonite in the way.
If there's no deal...no one knows what will happen.

How to Spread Bet on the Greece 20?
As with a range of financial markets, it is possible to spread bet on stock market indices, such as the Greece 20, to go up or down.
If an investor was to look at the IG spread betting site, they are valuing the Greece 20 March Futures market at 743.3 - 748.0. Therefore, an investor can spread bet on the Greece 20 index:
Settling higher than 748.0, or
Settling lower than 743.3
On the settlement date for this 'March' market, 18-Mar-11.
Whilst financial spread trading on the Greece 20 index you trade in £x per point. As a result, should you choose to invest £10 per point and the Greece 20 moves 5.0 points then that would alter your P&L by £50. £10 per point x 5.0 points = £50.
If you think about the above spread of 743.3 - 748.0 and make the assumptions that:
You have analysed your chosen market, and
You feel that the Greece 20 index will close higher than 748.0 by 18-Mar-11
Then you could decide that you want to buy at 748.0 for a stake of £5 per point.
With such a bet you make a profit of £5 for every point that the Greece 20 index rises above 748.0. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will lose £5 for every point that the Greece 20 market decreases below 748.0.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you were to ‘Buy’ a spread bet then your P&L is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
Therefore, if, on the closing date, the Greece 20 market settled at 763.0, then:
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (763.0 - 748.0) x £5 per point stake
Profit / loss = 15.0 x £5 per point stake
Profit / loss = £75.00 profit
Speculating on stock market indices, whether by spread betting or otherwise, may not go to plan. In this example, you wanted the index to rise. Naturally, the index can also fall.
If the Greece 20 decreased, settling at 731.2, then this means you would make a loss.
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = (731.2 - 748.0) x £5 per point stake
Profit / loss = -16.8 x £5 per point stake
Profit / loss = -£84.00 loss
Note - Greece 20 March Futures market quoted as of 24-Feb-11.
