WASHINGTON — A resurgent U.S. job market that has lifted the economy appears to be enduring.
NEW YORK — If Chairman Ben Bernanke decides the economy needs more help from the Federal Reserve this year, he probably won’t face as much resistance as he did last year.
WASHINGTON — Discouraging economic data from around the globe have heightened fears that another recession is on the way. Fresh evidence emerged Thursday that U.S. home sales and manufacturing are weakening. Signs also surfaced that European banks are increasingly burdened by the region’s debt crisis and sputtering economy. The rising anxiety ignited a huge sell-off in stocks that led many investors to seek the safety of U.S. Treasurys.
