S&P Global's flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, increased to 53.5 this month from 51.6 in February .

The improvement in activity will probably do little to assuage fears that the economy was staring at a period of slow growth and high inflation.

Consumer sentiment has also deteriorated as households worry about the future.
