The Day Japan Said “No” to the USA – The Forgotten Crash of May 1987
Everyone knows about the Black Monday stock market crash of October 1987. But almost no one talks about the “silence” in May 1987 that actually lit the fuse. Here is the true story of the failed US Treasury Auction.
In this deep-dive documentary, we uncover the forgotten financial crisis where Japanese investors staged a “buyer’s strike,” causing US bond yields to skyrocket and shattering confidence in the global financial system.
We analyze how geopolitical tensions, the Plaza Accord, and a weakening dollar led to a moment where the US government couldn’t find buyers for its debt. This isn’t just history—it’s a masterclass in how the bond market controls everything, from mortgage rates to stock prices.
