The UAE's abrupt withdrawal from OPEC and OPEC+ on April 28, amid escalating regional tensions including Iranian strikes on Gulf infrastructure and fractures exposed at a recent GCC summit in Jeddah, has intensified speculation about its potential exit from the Gulf Cooperation Council. However, senior UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash stated on April 29 that while Abu Dhabi is reviewing its role in all multilateral organizations, it rules out additional departures, emphasizing strategic independence without disrupting broader Gulf ties. No official announcement or formal communication of GCC withdrawal has occurred as of April 30, the market resolution date, with the UAE remaining a full member participating in joint exercises like Gulf Shield 2026. Traders weigh diplomatic signals against historical GCC cohesion amid Saudi-UAE rivalries.
