Market Overview

Skill: market-overview

Purpose

Produce a comprehensive market overview combining index performance, sector breakdown, macro-economic data, Treasury rates, and commodity prices from EODHD data.

Trigger

Activate when the user asks for:

• Market overview, market summary, or "how's the market?"
• Sector performance or rotation analysis
• Daily/weekly market recap
• Macro context for the market
• Treasury yield curve or interest rate overview
• Commodity prices overview

Workflow

1. Fetch major indices — eod for S&P 500 (GSPC.INDX), Nasdaq (IXIC.INDX), Dow (DJI.INDX), Russell 2000 (RUT.INDX)
2. Fetch international indices — FTSE, DAX, Nikkei, Shanghai as needed
3. Fetch sector ETFs — eod-bulk-last-day or individual sector ETF prices (XLK, XLF, XLV, XLE, XLI, etc.)
4. Fetch Treasury rates — ust/yield-rates, ust/bill-rates for yield curve
5. Fetch macro data — macro-indicator for latest GDP, CPI, unemployment
6. Fetch commodities — eod via liquid ETF proxies: gold (GLD.US), oil (USO.US). The COMEX

futures symbols (GC.COMEX, CL.COMEX) are unreliable on standard plans (empty array / error) — prefer the ETF proxies and label them as proxies in the output.

1. Compile overview
