SEOUL, April 5 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean shares hovered near a two-month high on Tuesday supported by shares of battery and internet companies, although gains were capped by worries over the Ukraine crisis.
** The Korean won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.
** The benchmark KOSPI closed up 1.30 points, or 0.05%, to 2,759.20, the highest close since Feb. 10.
