U.S. stock futures were little changed after orders for durable goods rose less than estimated and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the recovery isn’t assured, bolstering bets on further policy easing.

Stock futures reversed gains after data showed that bookings for goods meant to last at least three years advanced 2.2%, less than projected after a revised 3.6% decline the prior month, data from the Commerce Department showed.
