'To slump' describes a 'downward' movement, not an 'upward' one, therefore this sentence is incorrect. To describe a 'sharp or sudden increase' (the opposite of 'slump') one can use verbs such as: 'to take off', 'shoot up', 'soar', 'jump', 'rise' or 'rocket'.
This is an incorrect use of the verb 'to slump'. A better verb to use in this sentence might be 'to jump', if you want to keep with the 'ump' sound.
As a verb 'to slump' means to 'decline sharply or suddenly', for example: Sales in Microtosh Vishna have slumped in India this year. 'Slump' is used to describe downward movements in graphs and shares a similar meaning with verbs such as: 'to fall', 'to drop', 'to plunge', 'to decline', 'to decrease' and 'to plummet'.
This is a different use of the verb 'to slump' than the example in the text, but it is still correct. In this case 'to slump' shares a similar meaning with 'to fall heavily' or 'to collapse'. Example: After the boxer was hit for a third time he slumped to the ground.
In this example 'slump' is used correctly (as a noun) and in the same way that it is used in the text. A 'slump' can be a period of sharp economic decline, or more simply, a sudden decline. It shares a similar meaning with a 'fall', a 'decrease', a 'drop', or a 'downturn'. The word comes from Scandinavia, where it means 'to sink into the mud', probably due to the weight of carrying a large moose.
