SEOUL, July 27 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares ended higher on Tuesday, lifted by solid domestic economic data and overnight gains on Wall Street ahead of major tech companies' earnings and the Federal Reserve policy meeting. Both the won and the benchmark bond yield rose.

** The KOSPI closed up 7.58 points, or 0.24%, at 3,232.53, rebounding from a 0.91% decline on Monday.

** Among heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics fell 0.38%, while peer SK Hynix dropped 0.85%, even as it posted the highest quarterly profit in over two years. Battery maker LG Chem gained 2.20%.

** South Korea's economy expanded at the fastest annual pace in a decade in the second quarter, thanks to a pick-up in private consumption, though a resurgence of COVID-19 casts doubt over the outlook for the rest of the year.

** U.S. stocks touched record highs in choppy trade on Monday and the dollar weakened, as focus turned to this week's Federal Reserve policy meeting.

** "Earnings optimism and hopes for economic normalisation lifted risk appetite, offsetting worries about the fast-spreading coronavirus," said Daishin Securities analyst Lee Kyoung-min.

** Foreigners were net buyers of 43.9 billion won ($38.16 million) worth of shares on the main board.

** The won was quoted at 1,150.1 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.43% higher than its previous close.

** In offshore trading, the won was quoted at 1,150.2, while in non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract was quoted at 1,150.2.

** In money and debt markets, September futures on three-year treasury bonds fell 0.03 points to 110.36.

** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield rose by 0.3 basis points to 1.373%, while the benchmark 10-year yield rose by 0.2 basis points to 1.865%. ($1 = 1,150.5100 won) (Reporting by Joori Roh; Additional reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Ramakrishnan M.)
