NEW YORK, Feb 1 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures rose on Tuesday as investors turned their attention from geopolitical tremors in the Middle East to data they hope will provide insight into the state of the U.S. economic recovery.
The Institute for Supply Management's January manufacturing index is due at 10 a.m. EST [1500 GMT]. Economists in a Reuters survey expected a reading of 58.0 versus 58.5 in December.
At the same time, the Commerce Department will report on December construction spending. Economists look for construction spending to be unchanged, compared with a 0.4 percent rise the prior month.
Investors appeared to shrug off the tumultuous events in Egypt, as more than 200,000 Egyptians poured into central Cairo in the biggest demonstration so far in an uprising against President Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian rule. For details, see [ID:nLDE71016A] and [ID:nLDE71000N]
"The market is resuming its on-track performance to its key 1,300 level," said Andre Bakhos, director of market analytics at Lek Securities in New York.
"The situation in Egypt seems to be contained, giving investors renewed optimism that a resolution will be found. For the most part, economically speaking, data has been conducive to further market gains."
