South Korea benchmark bond yield falls

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

** South Korean shares rose 1.5% on Thursday to the highest level in a month, led by battery makers, amid hopes that global central banks will temper their pace of monetary tightening. The Korean won jumped, while the benchmark bond yield fell.

** The benchmark KOSPI was up 33.36 points, or 1.48%, at 2,282.92, as of 0120 GMT, hitting the highest intraday level since Sept. 23.

** The Bank of Canada announced a smaller-than-expected interest rate hike on Wednesday and said it was getting closer to the end of its historic tightening campaign.

** "That along with weak economic indicators in the United States supported views of a slowdown in global monetary tightening," said Choi Yoo-june, an analyst at Shinhan Securities.

** Back home, South Korea's third-quarter economic growth fell to its slowest in a year as poor net exports offset pent-up spending.

** Gains were led by battery makers following upbeat third-quarter numbers. LG Energy Solution advanced 2.08%, Samsung SDI added 4.73%, and SK Innovation gained 6.17%.

** Samsung Electronics rose 0.51%, even as the chipmaker reported a 31% drop in third-quarter profit and said geopolitical uncertainties are likely to dampen demand until early 2023. Peer SK Hynix gained 0.43%.

** Samsung C&T jumped 6.25%, set to post its biggest daily gain in six months, as Samsung Electronics' de facto leader Jay Y. Lee was named executive chairman on Thursday.

** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 93.7 billion won ($66.26 million) on the main board, set to mark their 18th buying session in 19.

** The won was quoted up 0.70% at 1,416.7 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, after hitting a near three-week high of 1,412.6.

** In money and debt markets, December futures on three-year treasury bonds rose 0.23 point to 102.13.

** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield fell by 4.5 basis points to 4.144%, while the benchmark 10-year yield dropped 1.8 basis points to 4.237%.
