SEOUL, Oct 21 (Reuters) -Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean shares rose on Monday, led by battery makers and biopharmaceutical firms, while investor focus was on quarterly earnings of major domestic and global companies.
** The benchmark KOSPI .KS11 closed up 11.10 points, or 0.43%, at 2,604.92, after three sessions of losses.
** "Trading was rather sector-based than market-wide," said Seo Sang-young, an analyst at Mirae Asset Securities.
** South Korea's exports fell during the first 20 days of October, after rising in September for the 12th straight month but with the pace cooling.
** Major South Korean companies including chipmaker SK Hynix, automakers and financial firms are scheduled to report their third-quarter earnings this week.
** SK Hynix 000660.KS, which supplies Nvidia NVDA.O with high-end chips, rose 1.92%, tracking the U.S. chipmaker's gains in the previous session.
** Rival Samsung Electronics 005930.KS ended down 0.34%, however, after hitting its lowest level since early January 2023.
** Samsung Electronics has postponed taking deliveries of ASML ASML.AS chipmaking equipment for its upcoming factory in Texas, Reuters reported on Friday.
** Samsung Biologics 207940.KS rose 2.92% and biopharmaceutical peer Celltrion 068270.KS gained 1.75%, while battery makers LG Energy Solution 373220.KS and Samsung SDI 006400.KS ended up 0.26% and 1.36%, respectively.
** Korea Zinc 010130.KS ended up 6.43%, after rising as much as 7.9% to a record high. A court rejected a legal bid to block the world's biggest zinc refiner from proceeding with a tender offer to buy its own shares.
