Gas prices to rise in 2018 with regional highs
GasBuddy forecasts average self-serve regular at 2.57 dollars in 2018, up 18 cents from 2017 and 45 cents from 2016, with U.S. households spending about 1898 dollars on gasoline. West and East Coast see highest prices, while cities like Houston and Phoenix forecast lower peaks. OPEC production cuts and Iran protests add volatility but are not expected to derail the trend.

Calm markets hint at potential 2018 stock dip risks
The 2017 calm on Wall Street with the S P 500 rising 19.4 percent and only eight days of 1% moves suggests a muted year. Strategas notes that low volatility years often precede corrections, with precedents like 1996 and bear markets after similar gains. Investors should brace for a sizable dip later in 2018.
