* KOSPI rises, foreigners net sellers
    * Korean won weakens against U.S. dollar
    * South Korea benchmark bond yield rises

    SEOUL, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial
markets:
    
    ** South Korean shares rose on Thursday, driven by sharp
gains in SK Hynix and as solid corporate earnings and
expectations of sustained growth in exports lifted investor
sentiment. The won weakened, while the benchmark bond yield
rose.
    
    ** The benchmark KOSPI         rose 5.16 points, or 0.17%,
to 3,030.65 by 0202 GMT, after declining 0.77% on Wednesday.
    
    ** Among heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics
            and SK Hynix             rose 0.29% and 3.94%,
respectively. Battery maker LG Chem             and automaker
Kia             jumped 2.79% and 2.59%, respectively.
    
    ** Samsung Electronics reported its highest quarterly profit
in three years, though it said it expects component shortages to
affect chip demand in the current quarter.             
    
    ** That came days after SK Hynix posted its best quarterly
profit in nearly three years on the back of rising prices and
struck a more upbeat tone than rivals on demand for memory
chips.             
    
    ** South Korean exports are set for a 12th consecutive month
of growth in October, while inflation will likely increase at
its fastest pace in nearly a decade due to surging energy and
commodities prices, a Reuters poll showed.             
    
    ** Foreigners were net sellers of 44.9 billion won ($38.29
million) worth of shares on the main board. 
    
    ** The won was quoted at 1,172.7 per dollar on the onshore
settlement platform           , 0.23% lower than its previous
close.
    
    ** In offshore trading, the won        was quoted at 1,172.5
per dollar, unchanged from the previous day, while in
non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract
              was quoted at 1,173.4.
    
    ** In money and debt markets, December futures on three-year
treasury bonds         fell 0.10 point to 107.85.
    
    ** The most liquid 3-year Korean treasury bond yield rose by
8.0 basis points to 2.119%.
