In den USA jagt ein Rettungspaket das nächste: Finanzminister Paulson will die Kreditvergabe fördern, die Demokraten arbeiten an einem 500-Milliarden-Konjunkturprogramm – und Notenbankchef Bernanke stellt weitere Zinssenkungen in Aussicht. Unterdessen haben die Länder der Euro-Zone eine Senkung der Mehrwertsteuer abgelehnt.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks tumbled on Monday as signs of a deepening economic slump around the world erased much of last week's sharp gains, with banks and retailers among Wall Street's biggest casualties.div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~f/reuters/topNews?a=X5V10hxI"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/reuters/topNews?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~f/reuters/topNews?a=slcG1cR0"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/reuters/topNews?i=slcG1cR0" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~f/reuters/topNews?a=27FQS6F6"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/reuters/topNews?i=27FQS6F6" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~4/MbYhi03VwjI" height="1" width="1"/

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most Americans sorely knew it already, but now it's official: The country is in a recession, and it's getting worse. Wall Street convulsed at the news - and a fresh batch of bad economic reports - tanking nearly 680 points. With the economic pain likely to stretch well into 2009, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday he stands ready to lower interest rates yet again and to explore other rescue or revival measures....

Shareholders balked at an announcement by the National Bureau of Economic Research that the US economy entered recession in December last year. /ppBen Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, said today that further interest rate cuts were "feasible" but the scope to bring the key Fed funds rate below its current 1% was "obviously limited". /ppAnswering audience questions after a speech to business leaders in Austin, Texas, Bernanke said more constraints on risk-taking by large financial institutions were needed to ease the problem of banks being "too big to fail". /ppLimiting the risk-taking of institutions to "feasible" levels would mean "we don't privatise the profits and socialise the losses," Bernanke said. "We need a better system for resolving failing institutions," he added. This may include similar mechanisms to deal with problems at companies outside the banking sector./ppThe NBER's business cycle-dating committee gave Bernanke and his colleagues more bad news to digest when rates are discussed on December 15 by announcing that the US was in recession. The committee, which defines recession as "a significant decline in activity spread across the economy" and is considered an official arbiter of the economic cycle, said the downturn began last December as firms started to shed jobs in large numbers./pp"The committee determined the decline in economic activity in 2008 met the standard for a recession," said the privately owned group. President Bush expressed contrition over the downturn yesterday. In an interview with the ABC television network, he said: "I'm sorry it's happening, of course. Obviously I don't like the idea of people losing jobs." He added authorities would intervene if the financial system suffered further difficulties, after the Fed and US treasury bailed out Citigroup and nationalised mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. /pp"The American people have got to know that we will safeguard the system," the president said./ppThe Dow fell yesterday morning before the NBER statement, following factory output data for November that showed the weakest activity since 1982. /ppInitial optimism about a strong start to the shopping season also appeared to evaporate as retail stocks were hammered on concerns that heavily discounted sales would hit profits. The SP 500 and Nasdaq indices were off by more than 6%./ppMarket-watchers said the Dow would have struggled to retain recent gains because hedge funds are still dumping assets to pay investors who are withdrawing funds, and to settle bank loans. /pp"I don't know of a single investment strategist who thinks that we are at the beginning of a bull market. It looks like it will be a long recession," said Brian Gendreau, of ING Investment Management in New York./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/useconomy"US economy/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/marketturmoil"Market turmoil/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/globaleconomy"Global economy/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/interestrates"Interest rates/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/r1_Gs_wICuhqUud18l1RR5NriT0/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/r1_Gs_wICuhqUud18l1RR5NriT0/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

S&P and Nasdaq end down 9% and the Dow closes down 7.7%, as Bernanke speech offers investors little solace.

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, paved the way for US interest rates to be cut to an unprecedented low of under 1 per cent this month, and sought to reassure markets that the Fed could deploy other weapons from its arsenal even if it is forced to cut rates to zero.
