<<It seems quite obvious right now that part of the Fed forex reserves (gold only!) was sold or swapped to support the falling buck, maybe a significant part>> Might it not have been some sort of intricate loan / lease arrangement? Did you see the slight up move in lease rates? What seemed very strange, lease rate rise happened as gold price decreased? Could the fed have loaned money & there was a quiet agreement that a few troublesome gold loans might be cash settled - one last time? (sorry about the quite / quiet first pass typo)
