From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: currently S&P futures and DOW futures are up slightly (fair value).
Oil prices were up over the last week with WTI futures at $57.36 per barrel and Brent at $65.28 per barrel. A year ago, WTI was at $102, and Brent was at $109 - so, even with the recent increases, prices are down over 40% year-over-year.
Below is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are up to $2.54 per gallon (down about $1.15 per gallon from 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.
