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

Oil prices were down over the last week with WTI futures at $48.89 per barrel and Brent at $49.64 per barrel.  A year ago, WTI was at $59, and Brent was at $60 - so prices are down almost 20% year-over-year.

Here is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are at $2.36 per gallon (down about $0.40 per gallon from a year ago).
