U.S. stock futures rose Tuesday as semiconductor stocks like Micron and Intel bounced back after last week's sell-off, supported by strong earnings from 3M and General Motors.

Market direction hinges on whether key technical levels on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hold amid ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
