New polls reveal that right-winger Keiko Fujimori has caught-up with former front-runner...left-winger Ollanta Humala...in the 5 June presidential contest.
The results sent the stock market there soaring.
Investors seeing that Fujimori could win helped pushed the stock index 3.4% higher for the second straight day...after weeks of heavy selling...and 22% decline that wiped out about $18 billion.
