Bernanke said that he was 'absolutely' prepared to use all the tools at his disposal to address the credit crisis in the US financial system, according to Senator Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate banking committee. Dodd reported Bernanke's comments to the press after a closed-door meeting with Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

The calm is not expected to last long."
