Peru’s Stocks, Bonds, Currency Jump as Humala Falls in Presidential Poll
By John Quigley - May 4, 2011 4:37 PM ET
Peru’s bonds and currency surged, and stocks rose the most in more than 2 1/2 years, after a presidential poll showed declining support for former military rebel Ollanta Humala.
The Lima General Index of stocks jumped 6.1 percent to 20,678.38, the biggest one-day rise since November 2008 and the best performance of 90 primary indices tracked by Bloomberg.
The extra yield investors demand to hold Peruvian dollar bonds instead of U.S. Treasuries fell 17 basis points to 1.99 percentage point, the steepest decline in four months, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Humala, the leader of Peru’s Nationalist Party who pledges to increase state control of the economy, had 39 percent support and Congresswoman Keiko Fujimori had 38 percent support in a poll taken April 23-30 by Lima-based Ipsos Apoyo. Humala had 42 percent and Fujimori had 36 percent in Ipsos Apoyo’s April 16-21 survey.
“Markets are particularly focused on the skew of the electoral polls,” said Enrique Alvarez, head of Latin America fixed-income research at IDEAglobal in New York. “There’s added hopes that the run-off result doesn’t bring the Nationalist candidate into office.”
Peru’s sol jumped 0.3 percent to 2.8195 per U.S. dollar, the best performance among 25 emerging market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
