ANALYSIS-Copper price boost? Peru s socialist swerve worries miners Reuters 1 hr ago

LIMA, April 20 (Reuters) - Peru s presidential front-runner has proposed nationalizing mining and redrafting the Andean country s Constitution, raising risks to mining investment in the world s no. 2 copper producer that could put upward pressure on prices of the red metal.

Castillo has a strong lead over conservative Keiko Fujimori in pre-election polls after surging from relative obscurity to win the first round this month, when he rode on a horse to vote and pledged to be a champion for the country s poor.
