From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: S&P 500 futures are up 2, and DOW futures are up 32 (fair value).

Oil prices were mixed over the last week with WTI futures at $48.48 per barrel and Brent at $52.66 per barrel.  A year ago, WTI was at $47, and Brent was at $48 - so oil prices are up slightly year-over-year.
