    A €uro rattrap, wish I knew its context so I could figure out whose neck it’s going to break.

    ^ I’m not sure, either.

    It might refer to contemplated shifts in currency reserves toward the Euro (from the weak USD) at several central banks, particularly Russia’s.

    It does refer to the weakening dollar against the Euro.. But what is the bait? Looks like swiss cheese. I don’t get the connection.

    ^ I think the bait is the use of the Euro as a preferred currency reserve (attractive compared to USD and USD securities) - the trap is the increased leverage that could be then exerted, say, on Russian energy supply.

    Just a guess - I’m surely no economist.

    I’m not sure what the message is. The spring is wound the wrong way.
