The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+), including Russia, agreed to raise their output targets by 188,000 barrels a day starting in August.

This is in addition to the similar increases made for June and July.

“With the August increase now decided, they will have fully unwound the 2023 cut if they make one more hike of around the same size for September at their next meeting on August 2,” per Reuters.

Microsoft Stock Price Forecast: Over 20% Slump in First Half of 2026, Will It Keep Falling in the Second Half?

In the second half of the year, if the Federal Reserve initiates actual rate cuts before year-end, and Microsoft improves its internal metrics—such as maintaining Azure's revenue growth rate above 38% and achieving a higher-than-expected corporate conversion rate for Copilot—it will help its stock price break through the upper resistance of its trading range and potentially challenge its historical high of $550. However, if Microsoft’s AI monetization stalls significantly, particularly in the event of a Federal Reserve rate hike, the company may fail to hold its key line of defense and head toward the next critical support level at $200.
