Summary
Colombia stock market report: the MSCI COLCAP surged 3.57% to 2,254.67 on Monday June 1, the standout move in Latin America as the market repriced Sunday’s surprise first-round presidential vote. Right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella topped the field with roughly 43.7%, beating polls that favoured leftist Iván Cepeda, setting up a June 21 runoff that markets read as the most business-friendly outcome available. The candle tells the nuance: an intraday spike to 2,332 faded to a close at the 2,254 low, surrendering more than half its gain by the bell.
The Big Three
The COLCAP closed at 2,254.67, up 3.57%, the strongest single-day gain in months and a clean break above the 2,202 to 2,243 moving-average cluster. It was the only major regional index to rally hard, decoupling from a Brazil that fell again.
