Description

From https://github.com/sktime/sktime/issues/3543#issuecomment-1272305001 It seems that when acquiring the daily data, the freq string is not set to 'B' or "business days", so some of the code may not work normally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code that downloads daily price data and ensure the 'freq' attribute of the resulting DataFrame is set to 'B' for business days. Look for where daily frequency is inferred and add the appropriate frequency string.
