The meaning of となった in this context
First, note the translation of the word in question:

  * X となる = "to become X"

Furthermore, note that putting a verb before a noun is a way to describe the
noun. For example:

  * {話す/話した}人 = "A person who (will) talks/talked"
  * "田中さんが食べたステーキ" = "The steak that Mr. Tanaka ate."

So basically, the whole first part of the phrase (up to and including となった)
are used to describe the noun after it: "ニューヨーク株式市場"
