The Asian markets are red tonight. The Nikkei is off 0.75%, and the Shanghai Composite is off 0.5%.

From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: the US futures are mostly flat.

Oil: WTI futures are up to $84.89 (this is down from $109.77 in February, but up last week) and Brent is at $97.69 per barrel. According to a formula from Professor Hamilton, the price of Brent would suggest gasoline at around $3.28 per gallon (the current national average price is $3.36) so gasoline prices might fall a little further.
