United States Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has said the likelihood of a severe US economic slump has diminished.
Speaking at a forum sponsored by the Boston Federal Bank, he said that despite a jump in unemployment reported last week, that interest rate cuts in recent months have helped to fend off a weakening economy. Bernanke, however, warned that rising energy prices meant the Fed would have to be more vigilant in fighting inflation.
