S.Korean bonds show muted reaction to WGBI inclusion; won inches lower
KOSPI rises, foreigners net sellers
Korean won weakens slightly against dollar
S.Korea benchmark bond yield little changed
SEOUL, Oct 10 (Reuters) -Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean treasury bond yields were little changed on Thursday while the won weakened slightly, despite the surprise inclusion of the country's sovereign bonds in a key global index.
** Stocks rose as chipmaker SK Hynix jumped, although rival Samsung Electronics extended losses.
** South Korean financial markets were closed on Wednesday.
** Global index provider FTSE Russell on Tuesday added South Korean government bonds to the FTSE World Government Bond Index (WGBI).
** The inclusion is expected to draw as much as 80 trillion won ($59.33 billion) into the domestic bond market, according to the government.
** But that will likely be in a long-term period, analysts say, as the addition will come into effect from November 2025.
** "Passive investment may be around $44.4 billion, or $11.1 billion per quarter over four quarters. Active flows may be comparable to this scale, while front-running flows may only come closer to actual inclusion," Citi analysts said in a note.
** December futures on three-year treasury bonds KTBc1 were down marginally, by 0.05 point, to 105.82 as of 0128 GMT.
** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield KR3YT=RR was up by 1.8 basis points to 2.959%, while the benchmark 10-year yield KR10YT=RR was down by 1.1 basis points to 3.073%.
** The won was quoted at 1,349.5 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform KRW=KFTC, 0.26% lower than its previous close at 1,346.0.
** In the stock market, the benchmark KOSPI .KS11 was up 12.50 points, or 0.48%, at 2,606.86.
** SK Hynix 000660.KS gained 5.45%, tracking the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index's .SOX overnight jump.
** Samsung Electronics 005930.KS fell 1% as analysts cut target prices after the company forecast its third-quarter profit to be lower than market expectations.
** Foreigners were net sellers of shares worth 287.5 billion won ($213.20 million). They also sold treasury bond futures.
