I read up on the markets a lot from websites like Zero Hedge. I would however like a leftist website than analyzes the market in a similar fashion, just from a left leaning point of view. Does such a site even exist?

This might help. Micheal Roberts is a Marxist economist.

It's in transition, but Left Business Observer is good http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/LBO_about.html
They're changing the site around, it's very old fashioned and some of it is subscription only... I follow Doug Henwood on Facebook and he's about the only lefty of his generation that seems to get FB. He mostly doesn't post on market stuff, but sometimes links to interviews.
I only look at this one sporadically: http://www.progressive-economics.ca/ and it's not communist but has some pretty good stuff on detailed business issues. It's Canadian focussed, but depending on your interests, there's stuff that is more widely applicable or of interest.

I can't post links yet, but I sometimes check Naked Capitalism. The Wolf Report is Marxist, but isn't updated often.

Richard Wolff is emphatically a Marxist. He has a website -- and a weekly podcast.

Richard Wolff also does videos with monthly updates on the capitalist economy (latest vid here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6zlZ1lgvnU). But he does tend to water down the revolutionary side of things by advocating co-ops and such to show that an alternative is actually possible, although I suspect this is more out of a concern to propagate Marxism to people who have had years of anti-communist brainwashing.
