# 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.
7. **Compile overview**
