From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: currently S&P futures are down 2 and DOW futures are down 14 (fair value).
Oil prices were down slightly over the last week with WTI futures at $45.29 per barrel and Brent at $47.85 per barrel. A year ago, WTI was at $90, and Brent was at $91 - so prices are down about 50% year-over-year (It was a year ago that prices started falling sharply).
Here is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are at $2.29 per gallon (down about $1.00 per gallon from a year ago).
