/kloc-July of 0/4 was the national day of France, but a very unfortunate thing happened. In the French seaside resort city of Nice, a driver drove a truck into a dense crowd, killing at least 80 people. It is reported that the Islamic State extremist organization has claimed responsibility for the attack. If the news is true, this is the seventh terrorist attack in France within 18 months.
The gloom brought by Britain's withdrawal from the European Union to the global economy has not dissipated, and frequent terrorist attacks have intensified the turmoil in the global capital market. We can simply sort out similar incidents in recent years and understand the impact of terrorist attacks on global financial markets.

It can be seen that the conflict between terrorist attacks and global financial markets should not be underestimated. If things continue to ferment and terrorists continue to run rampant, it will inevitably put further pressure on the economy of Europe and even the world, slow down the process of economic restructuring in various countries, and have a negative impact on the economic recovery of Europe and even the world in a longer period of time.
