Do you think there is any single city in the world that, if nuked, would cause unstoppable global economic collapse?

New York City, all the way. Imagine "Tsar Bomba" going off in the middle of Wall Street...
Also, there's never just one nuke. Think retaliation? I'm not an economist, but the prospect of nuclear war (on top of an already debilitating attack) would surely drive the markets into chaos, would it not?
Quoting: Starker's Rat I'm trying to imagine a scenario without any retaliations. Kind of a "mystery" nuclear attack that no-one knows who did it... Just ONE city taken away. I believe NYC would be the city with the most impact worldwide... No NYSE = global stock market collapse. Added to loss of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the headquarters of Citigroup, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, the impact would be tremendous.
