NEW YORK – U.S. stock futures are little changed ahead of key economic reports coming on the first day of the third quarter.

Investors will receive reports on manufacturing, auto sales, consumer sentiment and construction spending by the time the market closes Friday.

Economists expect that the closely watched ISM report will show that the manufacturing index grew in June but at a slower pace than in the previous month.

No major corporate earnings results are expected.

Ahead of the opening bell, Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 14 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,359. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures are down less than a point to 1,317. Nasdaq 10 futures are up 1, or 0.1 percent, to 2,326.
