The attacks caused a panic in the stock market, and stock prices fell.
Briefly: U.S. markets were closed for several trading days after 9/11; when they reopened on Sept. 17, the Dow fell about 684.8 points (roughly 7.1%). Airline, insurance, travel and tourism-related stocks were hit especially hard, and the attacks deepened an already-weak economy. Monetary and fiscal action later helped stabilize markets, but the immediate effect was sharp price declines and economic disruption.
