Korean won strengthens against dollar
South Korea benchmark bond yield falls
SEOUL, Aug 1 (Reuters) -Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean shares rose on Thursday, tracking a global rally on signals of imminent rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, but pared early gains amid weak regional economic data.
** The benchmark KOSPI .KS11 was up 8.64 points, or 0.31%, at 2,779.33 as of 0142 GMT, after rising as much as 0.85% earlier.
** "The market erased early gains amid strong profit-taking pressure after chip stocks rose sharply in the previous session," said Cho Jun-kee, analyst, SK Securities.
** Fed Chair Powell said on Wednesday rates could be cut as soon as September if the U.S. economy follows its expected path.
** South Korea's exports rose at the fastest pace in six months in July on strong chip sales but missed market expectations, data showed on Thursday.
** The country's factory activity expanded for the third straight month in July, but at a slower pace as weak domestic demand crimped output and new orders, a survey showed.
** In neighbouring China, manufacturing activity shrank in July for the first time in nine months.
** Chipmaker Samsung Electronics 005930.KS was up 0.12%, after rising as much as 2.62% earlier, while Nvidia-supplier SK Hynix 000660.KS rose by just 0.36%, compared with the U.S. chipmaker's 12.8% jump overnight.
** Among other index heavyweights, battery makers, automakers and e-commerce firms rose, but biopharmaceutical stocks fell.
** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 33.4 billion won ($24.44 million).
** The won was quoted at 1,367.7 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform KRW=KFTC, 0.15% higher than its previous close of 1,369.8.
** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield fell by 5.2 basis points to 2.954%, while the benchmark 10-year yield fell by 5.7 basis points to 3.009%.
