OPEC+ said seven member producers will add 188,000 barrels per day to their June output quota, even as the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for roughly 20% of global oil, remains closed. The increase is largely symbolic while the shipping route is blocked, keeping physical supply tight.
The UAE is set to leave OPEC, seeking freedom to raise its own oil output without the cartel's production limits. Analyst Rücker expects prices to ease over time, though geopolitical tensions could trigger short-term volatility. India, a major Gulf crude buyer, stands to be directly affected by any shift in UAE supply.
The UAE has announced its withdrawal from OPEC, citing national interests. The departure weakens the oil cartel's production coordination at a time of regional conflict involving Iran. A less unified OPEC may struggle to defend oil price levels.
The UAE has announced its withdrawal from OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance, ending its participation in coordinated oil output management. The exit frees Abu Dhabi to produce above its previous quota, which could push more crude into global markets and pressure oil prices downward.
The UAE will exit OPEC on May 1, ending over 60 years of membership and removing one of the group's largest producers from its output coordination framework. The loss weakens OPEC's ability to manage global crude supply and defend prices. Regional tensions tied to the Iran conflict appear to have hastened the split.
Trump rejected Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz because it left the nuclear program off the table. The strait carries around a fifth of global oil supply, so an unresolved standoff keeps energy markets at risk. No timeline for further talks has been reported.
