Major world events that happened in 2013 that affected the stock markets
Global Economic Recovery: The global economy recovered from the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. However, the Eurozone faced some debt issues but experienced stabilization and economic growth. Positive sentiment around the economy was growing; this is reflected in a large number of IPOs this particular year.
Social Media: Popular social media companies like Twitter and Weibo went public, reflecting the increasing influence of social media in the modern world.
Healthcare: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was implemented in the United States. This was a big deal since it aimed to expand healthcare coverage to millions of uninsured Americans.
Boston Marathon bombing: During the Boston Marathon, two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line. Three people were killed, and another 264 people were injured. Eventually, the two bombers were caught and charged.

T-Mobile is a leading wireless communications service provider, offering voice, messaging, and data services to 80 million customers. If you’ve ever signed up for a new mobile or internet plan you’ve probably considered signing up for their services. They also claim to be America’s largest and fastest 5G network. On top of this, they’re helping Americans “break free” from lock-in contracts with Verizon and AT&T.

Tableau Software is a data visualization and analytics company that helps people make more accurate business decisions. It was the first business intelligence tool I learned to use while studying at the University of Sydney, so I’m excited it hit the stock market. Tableau’s products are designed to help people quickly and easily explore, analyze, and share data in various ways, from interactive dashboards to sophisticated data analysis. In 2019, Salesforce acquired Tableau for a whopping $15.7 Billion.
