Partly correct I think.. Its possible that during the Dec disaster, several of the mid sized or even a larger holder(s) exited - don't know yet but probably a safe bet. These "weak hands" could have been lending out all along, hence the turnover resulted in less available to lend and thus the rise in borrowing costs this month.
