Connection thesis
The UAE leaving OPEC (observation 212548) signals cartel fracture at precisely the moment when energy prices are expected to surge 24% in 2026 (observation 212555). A weakened OPEC unable to enforce production discipline will struggle to moderate prices during a supply-constrained environment, amplifying inflation transmission into developed markets. This breaks the soft-landing narrative—commodity inflation will re-stress Fed policy optionality in H2 2026.
