- Markets cheered Fujimori’s gains: Lima’s main index jumped ~5.6%, the sol strengthened about 2.4%, and major Peruvian stocks/ETFs rose after a Friday selloff.
- About 1.67% of ballots are flagged for review and a full count (including contested and rural votes) is expected in July, with both candidates urging patience.
