The European Central Bank will have better quality information in December to make a call on a possible interest rate cut but it is also keeping the door open on October, ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos told Portugal's Expresso in an interview.

European Central Bank Governing Council member Klaas Knot said he’s comfortable with investor bets on further interest-rate cuts.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank should keep cutting interest rates gradually but it does not need to set a schedule since conditions could change between moves, ECB chief economist Philip Lane said in a speech on Monday.

The European Central Bank's rate cutting cycle could accelerate over coming months, governing council member Fabio Panetta said on Thursday.

In the US, major equity indexes finished the week higher, recovering much of the losses from the week before, writes Ian Slattery.

There’s little chance that the European Central Bank will lower interest rates again next month, according to Governing Council member Gediminas Simkus.

The European Central Bank should almost certainly wait until December before cutting interest rates again to be certain it is not making a policy mistake in easing too quickly, ECB Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said on Monday.

The European Central Bank will ease monetary policy further, though it shouldn’t do so too hastily due to lingering inflation risks, according to Governing Council member Martins Kazaks.

The European Central Bank should keep cutting interest rates gradually, its chief economist said on Monday, but its policymakers expressed differing views on how to signal their intent given economic uncertainty.
