Colombia's peso and stock exchange closed higher on Tuesday, in the first session since the contest to elect the country's next president narrowed to two candidates, including business-friendly construction magnate Rodolfo Hernandez.
Leftist Gustavo Petro, who has promised profound social and economic change, won 40.3% of votes in Sunday's first round, while Hernandez, who has drawn support for his promises to tackle corruption, unexpectedly tallied 28.2%.
