How it trades on rate days

How SOUN has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 1.09 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), SoundHound AI Inc moved 1.09% on average · correlation 0.15 · higher than 86% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.94 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −2.86% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +1.50% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — SoundHound AI Inc

SOUN in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
SoundHound AI builds voice recognition and conversational software that other companies embed as spoken assistants inside their own products. Its Houndify platform gives developers tools for speech recognition, language understanding and text-to-speech, letting them build custom voice interfaces. It also sells ready-made assistants, such as Chat AI and Smart Ordering, aimed at restaurants, carmakers and customer-service teams. Its customers sit in automotive, television, connected devices and hospitality, across markets including the United States, Korea, France, Japan and Germany. It is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Where it sits in the stack
SoundHound AI holds no seat in our Rubin index, the diary's build-out score for the AI supply chain, so it belongs only to the wider software universe we follow. In the diary's application-software dossiers it sits in the voice-first agent sleeve, the group of tools that let a spoken exchange replace a screen or a menu. Restaurants, carmakers and call centres are the customers of this sleeve, buying voice assistants as a front end to their existing systems.
Who it is priced against
Our index has not built a peer group for this name; the comparison the market draws is with Cerence, another supplier of voice software to carmakers, alongside the built-in assistants from Amazon and Google that it competes against inside larger platforms.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
SoundHound AI appears twice in the diary's application-software and infrastructure dossiers, named as a voice-agent supplier to restaurants and automotive, but it carries no index seat and no Closelooknet score, so its scoring is still being built.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether voice-first assistants move from pilot features into paid, renewing contracts across restaurants and automotive, which would test whether this software layer earns durable revenue rather than one-off deals.

How to use this chart

Toolbar

  • Range — 1M to MAX on daily closes. 1D/5D switch a US stock cell to 5-minute intraday bars; index and foreign cells fall back to 1M daily with a note.
  • Grid — 1×1 up to 2×2. Cells are synchronized: pan or zoom one and the others follow the same dates; the crosshair tracks across all of them. 4 INDICES loads Rubin · HALO · AEI · AW40 side by side.
  • Type / Scale — OHLC, line or area; linear or log price axis.

Picking a series

  • Tap the box in a cell's header to browse every Closelooknet series — headline indices, sub-indices, sectors, layers of all six families — plus the constituents.
  • Or type any ticker (NVDA, 7203.T, ASML.AS …) and press Enter — it charts in the cell straight from our data lake.

Studies

  • Overlays / Oscillators rows toggle the standard set (SMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD …) per cell.
  • Levels (stock cells) draws the structure engine's support lines — regression bands, pivot cluster, SMA-200, the active fib zone.

Drawing

  • Tap a tool (Trend, Ray, H-Line, Fib, Channel, Rect, Note), then tap the chart once per point — the shape follows your finger or cursor between taps. The chart stops panning while a tool is armed; tap the tool again to release.
  • Drawings save per symbol in this browser and travel between the terminal and the asset page.
  • Delete key removes the selected drawing · Escape cancels a half-placed one · Clear wipes the symbol.

Wave counts

  • Wave places an Elliott count: tap the origin, then each wave end. Press Enter to stop early (inside wave 3 is fine) — dotted ghost targets sketch the remaining waves at guideline ratios.
  • On stocks the scanner's machine count appears automatically in grey — it is fully editable: drag any point, double-tap a label to remove it, Delete to dismiss it for good, Adopt to bring the machine's proposal back.
  • The sequence picker switches 1-5 / A-B-C / A-E / W-X-Y-Z; 1 2 3 cycles the degree; Subdiv starts a one-degree-smaller child count inside a wave.

Sharing

  • Card exports the cell as a branded PNG — chart, drawings and levels exactly as shown.
