Who bailed out the market? UK OPEC Brazil.
U K $76 bn $315 bn
Oil Exporters $106bn $127 bn
Brazil $52 bn $120 bn

Our key Asian import trade partners were not net buyers of treasuries. In some cases they were very large net sellers.

Country Nov 2006 Nov 2007 $Change
Japan $622 bn $580 bn -$42 bn
China $393 bn $386 bn -$7 bn (-$34 bn since March 07)
Taiwan $59 bn $49 bn -$10 bn
Korea $64 bn $41 bn -$23 bn

Korea liquidated a full third of holdings and no one noticed.

Who bailed out the market?

U K $76 bn $315 bn
Oil Exporters $106bn $127 bn
