SEOUL, July 20 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares ended at a three-week high on Wednesday, as investors' appetite for riskier assets improved tracking overnight Wall Street gains on solid earnings and a weaker dollar amid easing recession worries in Europe. The won ended flat, while the benchmark bond yield jumped.

** The benchmark KOSPI closed up 15.88 points, or 0.67%, at 2,386.85, its highest since June 28.

** While Wall Street's overnight strength and Europe's easing recession fears helped markets, gains were limited due to some profit taking, said Mirae Asset Securities' analyst Park Kwang-nam.

** Focus is now on the European Central Bank's monetary policy meeting due later this week to see whether interest rates are raised by 25 basis points or 50 bps to tame record-high inflation.

** U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and South Korean Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho agreed they could inject liquidity into currency markets if necessary after a bilateral meeting between the two leaders on Tuesday.

** Among the heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics fell 0.66% but peer SK Hynix rose 2.00%, while battery maker LG Energy Solution added 0.26%.

** Foreigners were net sellers of 41.1 billion won ($31.34 million) worth of shares on the main board.

** The won was last quoted at 1,312.9 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.04% higher than Tuesday's close.

** In offshore trading, the won was quoted down 0.5% at 1,311.5 per dollar, while in non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract was quoted at 1,311.6.

** In money and debt markets, September futures on three-year treasury bonds dropped 0.38 point to 104.61 in late afternoon trade.

** The most liquid 3-year Korean treasury bond yield rose by 9.4 basis points to 3.298%, while the benchmark 10-year yield jumped by 9.5 bps to 3.363%. ($1 = 1,311.5100 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Rashmi Aich)
