What happened

watch now UAE exit shakes OPEC - But will it really change oil prices?

Why it matters

Amrita Sen, founder and director of market intelligence at Energy Aspects discusses UAE's decision to leave OPEC and how the justification seems intriguing given the oil supply constrain all OPEC members are facing as well.

Common ground

She also discusses how this historic departure does not necessarily come as a surprise and has little impact on the organization's ability to influence oil prices and manage markets.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
