Peru's Pedro Castillo appointed moderate economist Pedro Francke as finance minister late on Friday, an olive branch to rattled markets after the newly-elected president earlier named members of his Marxist Free Peru party to several other cabinet positions. Castillo named Guido Bellido, a hardliner and Marxist from the Andean city of Cuzco who is little known in Lima circles, as prime minister on Thursday, initially dampening investor hopes for a more moderate cabinet. The move hammered bond markets and the sol currency. But the swearing in later in the day of moderate left-wing economist Francke, a top adviser to Castillo who had helped the recently elected president soften his image, appeared aimed at soothing jittery investors.
