From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures S&P 500 and DOW futures are mostly unchanged (fair value).

Oil prices were down over the last week with WTI futures at $68.28 per barrel and Brent at $70.70 per barrel. A year ago, WTI was at $41, and Brent was at $44 - so WTI oil prices are UP about 65% year-over-year (oil prices collapsed at the beginning of the pandemic).

Here is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are at $3.18 per gallon. A year ago prices were at $2.17 per gallon, so gasoline prices are up $1.01 per gallon year-over-year.
