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

** A surge in battery makers helped South Korean shares rebound on Tuesday and close higher, although the sentiment remained largely cautious ahead of a U.S. central bank meeting. The won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.

** The benchmark KOSPI ended up 12.19 points, or 0.52%, at 2,367.85, after a four-session losing streak that saw the benchmark hitting a more than two-month low.

** The gains were led by electric-vehicle battery makers. LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and SK Innovation rose 1.26%, 4.28% and 1.42%, respectively.

** Among other heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics fell 1.06% and peer SK Hynix lost 2.22%. Still, more than two-third stocks advanced among 931 traded issues.

** "The local market tracked Wall Street's overnight strength, while a mix of recession worries and rising interest rates continued to weigh," said Lee Kyoung-min, analyst at Daishin Securities.

** The U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting is also in focus, with expectations of at least 75 basis points and attention to its future policy projections.

** Foreigners were net sellers of shares worth 78.6 billion won ($56.55 million) on the main board.

** The won was last quoted at 1,389.5 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.30% higher.

** In offshore trading, the won was quoted flat at 1,390.0 per dollar, while in non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract was quoted at 1,388.3.

** In money and debt markets, September futures on three-year treasury bonds fell 0.16 points to 103.45 in late afternoon trade.

** The most liquid 3-year Korean treasury bond yield rose by 4.3 basis points to 3.801%, while the benchmark 10-year yield rose by 3.3 basis points to 3.832%. ($1 = 1,390.0400 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; editing by Uttaresh.V)
