<p>If bears can push the price below $98.50, it might head down toward the next support level of $96. On the other hand, if the price can close above $100 and the follow-up momentum occurs, it might rise toward the $105 resistance level.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-3m-earplug-settlement-strong"><strong>3M Earplug Settlement</strong></h2> 
<p>Veterans States that <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/08/11/3m-stock-price-prediction-can-mmm-stock-rebound-from-cmp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">3M</a> and Aearo Technologies (a company acquired by 3M in 2008) produced earplugs that failed to protect their hearing from noise damage. 3M and the plaintiff’s attorney are nearing a settlement that would resolve the claims of more than a hundred thousand cases by veterans. The case surrounds the earplugs made by the company and how the subsidiary failed to protect from hearing loss.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>3M would pay nearly $5.5 Billion, people close to the discussion said. Negotiation is going on and the final amount has not been established yet. Recently, 3M has agreed to pay more than $6.5 Million to settle the U.S. foreign corruption probe after marketing employees of a China-based subsidiary took healthcare officials on secret tourist excursions to the U.S. and Australia.</p>
