** FILE ** President of European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet talks to the media after a ECB meeting in Frankfurt, central Germany, in this Dec.1, 2005 file photo. Even as the euro makes a rapid climb against the dollar and nears its record high, the European Central Bank is expected to keep raising interest rates and increase its key benchmark for the sixth time in a year. While economists and market-watchers are widely expecting a quarter-percentage point increase to 3.5 percent on Thursday, they are also waiting for clues about how the bank views its strengthening currency _ and what that means for future rate moves.
