From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: S&P futures and DOW futures are up slightly (fair value).

Oil prices were up over the last week with WTI futures at $47.88 per barrel and Brent at $50.19 per barrel.  A year ago, WTI was at $46, and Brent was at $47 - so oil prices are UP year-over-year.

Here is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are at $2.22 per gallon (down less than $0.10 per gallon from a year ago).
