International briefs: Peru
OLLANTA Humala appeared within striking distance of victory in Peru's presidential election yesterday.
Two polls showed Humala leading by between 1 and 3.6 per cent going into today's election run-off, while another gave his right-wing rival, lawmaker Keiko Fujimori, a 1.2 point lead.
Peru's stocks and currency have swung wildly as Humala narrowed in on, and even edged ahead of, market-favourite Fujimori in various polls - all of which show technical ties.
