U.S. lawmakers still need to agree on raising the debt limit to avoid a default after Oct. 17.
The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index fell to 57 in September from 58.6 a month earlier, the Tempe, Arizona-based group’s report may show, according to the median estimate in a separate poll. Readings greater than 50 indicate growth.
