ECB would welcome a weaker euro - REUTERS
LONDON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank would happily, if quietly, cheer an even weaker euro exchange rate - and may be far more wary of the opposite at just the wrong time.
The euro is likely still too strong for the sort of subdued growth and outsize trade risks the zone faces next year and, far from being a brake on more monetary easing, its depreciation may well be encouraged. And it could argue for at least one deeper half-percentage-point interest rate cut at upcoming meetings.
