SEOUL, Oct 4 (Reuters) -Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean shares inched higher on Friday, led by gains in chipmaker SK Hynix, but posted their first weekly fall in four amid worries about the widening war in the Middle East.
** The benchmark KOSPI .KS11 closed up 8.02 points, or 0.31%, at 2,569.71.
** For the week, the KOSPI fell 3.3% and snapped a three-week run of gains.
** "The KOSPI rose slightly on dip-buying, as the index was judged to have entered undervalued territory after recent losses on geopolitical worries," said Lee Kyoung-min, an analyst at Daishin Securities.
** SK Hynix 000660.KS, which supplies Nvidia NVDA.O with high-end chips, rose 2.96%, tracking the U.S. chipmaker's gains overnight. It was the biggest gainer among major heavyweights.

** Shipping firms HMM 011200.KS and Pan Ocean 028670.KS fell 4.95% and 5.41%, respectively, after U.S. port workers and operators reached a deal to end a strike, reducing the prospect of higher freight charges.
** Of the total 937 traded issues, 464 shares advanced, while 414 declined.
** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 41.1 billion won ($30.82 million).
