Economists forecast Markit's purchasing manager's index at 53.1. ISM's index is expected at 57.

"Like its manufacturing cousin, the ISM non-manufacturing index stands firmly in expansionary territory, at a level of 57.6 as of February (the highest level since October 2015)," said Wells Fargo's Sam Bullard in a preview. "While regional services sector activity looks to have picked up from February (both the Dallas Fed and Richmond Fed surveys), our model signals a pullback in the headline national index to a still-robust level of 57.1."
