Regarding Switzerland, what the devil did YOU expect? Swiss are for Swiss; they have never failed to act in their own interest in times of potential crisis...and usually swiftly.

You should look up SNB activities from 1971 to 1975, during and after the crises that accrued after Nixon shut the gold window in 1971. This is just a lower-case replay, more or less.

Matter of fact, SNB activities were at the heart of Paul Erdman's old novel of the same period: The Billion Dollar Sure Thing. Worth a read, even today.
