<p>U.S. Treasury yields climbed sharply Monday after a 20-year bond auction showed signs of weakening foreign demand. This bolstered concerns over America's fiscal outlook and tested the market's tolerance for a 5% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds">long-term yield threshold.</a></p>
<p>The spike in yields took place after 12:00 p.m. ET, with the 30-year Treasury yield rising 4 basis points to 4.96%, approaching the psychologically important 5% mark. The benchmark 10-year yield also rose 4 basis points to 4.45%.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">20-Year Auction Triggers Yield Surge</h2>
<p>Exante Data noted that Monday's 20-year bond auction showed a mixed picture of demand. </p>
<p>The U.S. Treasury sold $14.3 billion in bonds at a high yield of 4.94%, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.68—landing in the top quartile of the last 50 auctions, suggesting solid headline interest. </p>
<p>Primary dealers, who are required to take unsold debt, purchased 13.4%—in line with historical averages. </p>
<p>Direct bidders, including mutual funds and hedge funds, made up 19.9% of demand, also in the top quartile. </p>
<p>But indirect bidders, a group largely made up of foreign institutions, took just 66.7%—a level only slightly above the bottom quartile, pointing to weaker-than-usual foreign appetite.</p>

<p>The yield move rattled bond proxies. The <strong>iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) declined 1% on the day, as longer-duration bonds remain highly sensitive to rate moves.</p>
<p>This yield spike follows a broader trend of tightening financial conditions, raising questions about whether higher yields could derail the ongoing stock market rally.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Does The 5% Yield Threaten Stocks?</h3>
<p>In a report this month, Goldman Sachs analysts indicated that fears around the 5% threshold for long-term Treasury <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/treasuries/25/06/45798569/think-5-yields-will-crush-stock-market-goldman-sachs-says-think-again">yields are largely overblown. </a></p>
<p>While investors often compare Treasury yields to the S&amp;P 500's earnings yield—now also hovering around 5%—Goldman says this &#8220;parity logic&#8221; misrepresents the historical relationship.</p>
<p>"Because equities are tied to nominal earnings, we believe the inflation-adjusted real Treasury yield is a more appropriate comparator," Goldman said.</p>
<p>Historical data supports this view: when 10-year yields ranged from 5% to 6%, U.S. equities still delivered a median annual total return of 16%. Even during periods when yields exceeded 8%, stock returns averaged 19%.</p>

Treasury Yields Near 5% After Soft Foreign Demand: A Red Flag For Stocks?

'OpenAI and Microsoft Tensions Are Reaching a Boiling Point' - WSJ

<p>It's no secret that artificial intelligence has been one of the hottest (if not the hottest) sectors in the market. Primarily, positive sentiment has surged for "frontline" enterprises, particularly semiconductor firms specializing in high-performance computing chips. Largely overlooked in the enthusiasm is <strong>Unity Software Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/U#NYSE">U</a>). Known for its video game software development, it may be time for investors to have a rethink about the company's forward prospects.</p>
<p>While U stock may be a gaming-centric investment, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a viable AI play. Quite the opposite, the underlying industry increasingly utilizes machine intelligence to foster greater productivity. Earlier this year, Unity, in its press <a href="https://investors.unity.com/news/news-details/2025/Unity-Announces-Enhanced-Engine-Performance-and-Stability-New-Platforms-and-AI-Powered-Workflows-at-GDC-2025/default.aspx">release</a>, announced enhanced performance and stability for its development platform, along with new AI-powered workflows. In particular, the associated tools should accelerate workflows through automation of complex and repetitive tasks.</p>
<p>What's more, the gaming industry is incredibly receptive to the marriage of software development and machine intelligence. According to Unity's market <a href="https://venturebeat.com/games/how-unity-plans-to-bring-ai-and-other-updates-into-its-unity-6-game-engine-matt-bromberg-interview/">research</a>, developer optimism about AI is growing, with 96% of developers integrating the innovation into their workflows. Essentially, the technology allows software teams to punch above their weight thanks to the productivity boost.</p>
<p>Even better, Unity could be an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/45868487/why-unity-software-may-be-the-ai-breakout-no-one-saw-coming">underappreciated AI investment</a> for its wide-ranging applications. Notably, <strong>Air France-KLM</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFLYY#OTC">AFLYY</a>) subsidiary KLM utilizes Unity's services to develop a 3D cockpit training program for its pilots. Germany's national railway company, Deutsche Bahn, also incorporates Unity's <a href="https://unity.com/resources/unite-ies-2024-deutsche-bahn-railway-transportation-xr">platform</a> to develop training and operating models. It's more than likely that additional companies will continue to integrate AI into their operations, thus providing a tailwind for U stock.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Winds Flow Favorably For U Stock</h2>
<p>To be fair, while the narrative for U stock appears bullish, it's also a well-known argument — something that's been in the public domain for months. From an investment perspective, these storylines answer the "why" regarding potential interest. However, from a trading perspective, the focus is more centered on "why now?"</p>
<p>It's an important inquiry, particularly for options traders. Since all options expire, the underlying position must not only hit profitability thresholds in terms of magnitude (y-axis); it must also do so within the prescribed time period (x-axis). In other words, while options are attractive for the leverage they provide, they also present the threat of full principal loss (or worse) if the trade goes sour.</p>
<p>As such, traders live in the world of probabilities. Still, it's important to refine this categorization. For most practical applications, two types of probabilities exist: derivative and conditional. Arguably, in the financial realm, investors are more likely to see the former variety, which calculates odds of a certain outcome materializing across the entire dataset's distribution. The latter approach represents a similar calculation but focuses on a specific subset of the data.</p>
<p>To use a baseball analogy, derivative probabilities represent a player's batting average over a full season. Conditional probabilities are equivalent to a player's batting average when there are runners in scoring position (RISP). This is much more situationally relevant for the options trader.</p>
<p>However, in order to apply conditional probabilities, the measurement metric must be consistent across the entire dataset to facilitate the "if-then" implication logic. That's why market breadth sequences — or the sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions — are invaluable for statistical analysis.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/16151319/U-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-951293" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/16151319/U-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/16151319/U-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/16151319/U-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/16151319/U-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Specific to U stock, in the past two months, the equity printed a "4-6-U" sequence: four up weeks, six down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period. Notably, in 61.54% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 7.79%.</p>
<p>With Unity stock closing at $23.66 on Friday, it could theoretically be on course to breach $25.50 in short order, perhaps in a week or two. Should the bulls maintain control of the market, historical trends imply a push toward $26 within two or three weeks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tempting Proposition On Tap</h2>
<p>For traders intrigued at the statistical setup, they may consider the 24.50/25.50 bull call spread expiring July 11. This transaction involves buying the $24.50 call and simultaneously selling the $25.50 call, for a net debit paid of $43. Should U stock rise through the short strike price ($25.50) at expiration, the maximum reward is $57, a payout of over 132%. Also, the breakeven price at time of writing is $24.93.</p>
<p>Mainly, what makes this trade tempting is the implied shift in sentiment regime. As a baseline, the chance that a long position in Unity stock will be profitable over any given week is 46.77%. However, the 4-6-U sequence — to extend the baseball analogy — creates a favorable matchup. If this were a ballgame, the manager would give the go-ahead for the batter to swing.</p>
<p>Much like baseball's sabermetrics, traders can use conditional probabilities — the batting average with RISP — to make smarter transactions. Of course, this doesn't guarantee success. However, it's a far superior approach to interpreting tealeaves.</p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>)</strong> stock increased by <strong>0.82%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>22.18%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.</p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750104018_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>How Does Autodesk P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the <strong>193.52</strong> in the Software industry, Autodesk Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of <strong>62.7</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that  the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750104019_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. </p>
