The United Arab Emirates' exit from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may have mixed implications for U.S. oil producers, says Morningstar's Joshua Aguilar in a note. OPEC losing a top oil producer undermines the bloc's influence, he says, noting that the U.A.E. is one of the few members with meaningful spare capacity. Meanwhile, Aguilar says U.S. oil producers might have to curtail production to remain profitable if the U.A.E. decides to add more supply in a low-demand environment, he says.
