EUR/USD reverses earlier rise as speculation mounts on 0.50% December cut from the ECB

Earlier this morning the EUR/USD pushed to fresh session highs, rising to a high at 1.0571. Well, it has reversed that move now and more and just now hit a fresh European session low at 1.0536. If you care to to look at a short-term chart of the price action, you will see the reversal has been pretty steep over the past 30 minutes or so. The reason for this is probably due to the recovery in the USD/JPY and the push higher just now in US yields. There have also been some comments from an ECB official (Makhlouf) which has led to speculation of a 0.50% rate cut from the ECB next month, on December 12. The EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.0539
