UAE quits OPEC in shock move amid energy turmoil

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will withdraw from OPEC and the OPEC+ oil cartel effective May 1, 2026, citing long-term strategic and economic priorities amid a global energy shock sparked by the Iran war. Analysts note the move weakens OPEC's market influence—given the UAE's significant spare capacity—and reflects growing rifts between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over the cartel's production policies.
