Markit said its purchasing managers index for the U.S. services sector registered a final reading of 56.0 in February, up from 54.2 in January and largely in line with an earlier “flash” estimate of 56.2. A reading of more than 50 indicates growth in activity. At 2 p.m. the Congressional Budget Office will announce the size of the federal budget deficit in January.
