From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: the S&P futures are up 4 and DOW futures are up 40 (fair value).

Oil prices were up over the last week with WTI futures at $104.27 per barrel and Brent at $110.32 per barrel.

Below is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are around $3.63 per gallon (might have peaked, and slightly below the level of a year ago).  If you click on "show crude oil prices", the graph displays oil prices for WTI, not Brent; gasoline prices in most of the U.S. are impacted more by Brent prices.
