## Integration Status
✅ Module created: `modules/global_equity_index_returns.py` (769 LOC)
✅ CLI commands added to `cli.py`
✅ MCP tools added to `mcp_server.py` (6 tools)
✅ Roadmap updated: Phase 153 marked as "done" with loc: 769
✅ Tested: All core functions working
## Known Issues & Notes
1. **Timezone Handling:** Fixed timezone-aware datetime comparison for YTD calculations
2. **Correlation Calculation:** NaN values can occur when indices have non-overlapping trading days (different market holidays). This is expected behavior.
3. **Data Availability:** Some exotic indices may have limited historical data or delayed updates
4. **Yahoo Finance Limits:** Subject to Yahoo Finance API rate limits and data availability
## Next Steps
