Terror Attack Shock

Dated events

1. Sept. 17, 2001 · U.S. markets reopen after September 11 attacks
   The New York Stock Exchange opened for the first time since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which had destroyed the World Trade Center and killed nearly 3,000 people. Investors rushed to sell because no one knew if more attacks were coming, and airlines and insurance companies faced enormous losses. Within about five weeks, most major stock prices had climbed back to where they were before the attacks.
2. March 11, 2004 · Madrid train bombings kill 193 people
   Coordinated bomb explosions hit commuter trains in Madrid, Spain during the morning rush hour, killing 193 people and injuring around 2,000. Investors feared a wave of terror across Europe, and travel and insurance companies were hit hardest as people worried about the safety of public transportation. European stock prices recovered most of their losses within about two weeks.
3. July 7, 2005 · London 7/7 bombings on three Tube trains and a bus kill 52 people
   Four suicide bombers attacked London's Underground trains and a bus during the morning commute, killing 52 people. Investors worried that major financial centers were vulnerable to attack, and shares in airlines, hotels, and insurers dropped sharply. London stock prices bounced back within days as it became clear the economic damage was limited.
4. Nov. 16, 2015 · Markets open for the first time after the Paris terror attacks
   On the previous Friday night, coordinated shootings and bombings across Paris killed 130 people at a concert hall, restaurants, and near a stadium. When markets opened Monday, travel and leisure companies saw their share prices drop as people feared more attacks in European cities. Prices broadly recovered within a couple of weeks as the immediate panic faded.
5. June 28, 2016 · Istanbul Ataturk Airport attack kills 45
   Three suicide bombers attacked the international terminal of Istanbul's main airport, killing 45 people and injuring hundreds. Airline and tourism stocks fell as investors worried that attacks on major travel hubs would discourage international travel. Turkish and global travel-related shares regained much of their lost ground within weeks.
