The bottom line
Colombia votes today. Colombians choose their next president in a runoff their market has raced to price, with the COLCAP closing Friday at a record 2,502.96 after a 4.02% surge; the pro-Trump Abelardo de la Espriella is favoured over the leftist Iván Cepeda, and the winner takes office on August 7.
Bolivia is in open crisis. President Rodrigo Paz declared a 90-day state of emergency and sent the army to reopen roads after nearly 50 days of fuel-subsidy blockades that left at least 17 dead and isolated La Paz.
Markets are shut for the weekend. There were no closes on Saturday or Sunday, so the tape below is Friday’s June 19 session, with the next prices due on Monday.
