In both cases, the first step is to contact the brokerage house or intermediary.
“The person calls by phone or sends an email or whatsapp. That is the (classic or traditional) way. A satisfied client talks to his friend and that friend sends a whatsapp to the representative (of the brokerage house) with whom the person talks…that is the initial contact”, explained Eduardo Fernandini, trading manager of Kallpa SAB.

Peru’s Stock Market Surges on record-High Copper, Gold, and Silver Prices
Table of Contents
Peru’s stock market experienced a important rally driven by soaring prices of copper, gold, and silver, reaching triple records, tho analysts caution about potential risks associated with the rapid gains.
Record Prices Fuel Market Euphoria
Prices for copper, gold, and silver all reached record highs simultaneously, sparking a wave of optimism in the Lima Stock exchange. This surge is primarily attributed to global demand and supply constraints, notably in the copper market. According to reports from Gestión, the market is reacting strongly to these price increases.
liquidity and Settlement Times
the lima stock Exchange operates on a T+2 settlement cycle, meaning investors receive funds two business days after selling assets. For example, if a client sells shares on Monday, they will receive the proceeds on Wednesday. This relatively quick settlement time is standard for the Peruvian market and allows for rapid turnover of funds. Gestión reported on this settlement process in relation to the recent market activity.
Volcan Company’s price Tripling
the mining company Volcan experienced a dramatic price increase, tripling in value, which some analysts attribute to a shift in investor sentiment or a significant market rebound. This specific case highlights the volatility within the Peruvian stock market and the potential for significant gains – and losses – in short periods. Gestión covered Volcan’s price surge on January 17, 2026, noting the debate over whether it was a genuine turnaround or a temporary spike.
Potential Risks and Market Volatility
While the current market conditions are favorable,experts warn of potential risks. Rapid price increases can lead to market corrections, and investors should be prepared for potential volatility. The dependence on commodity prices also makes the Peruvian stock market vulnerable to fluctuations in the global economy. No specific percentage risk was cited in the source material, but the overall tone suggests caution is warranted.
