SEOUL: Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

South Korean shares rose on Monday, as local battery suppliers of Tesla gained after the electric vehicle market leader’s rally last week. The won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.

The benchmark KOSPI closed up 29.16 points, or 1.13%, at 2,612.43.

Among index heavyweights, chipmaker Samsung Electronics rose 3.94% and peer SK Hynix lost 2.49%, while Tesla battery suppliers LG Energy Solution and LG Chem rose 2.33% and 5.12%, respectively, at onshore close.

LG Energy Solution posted a 39% drop in quarterly profit, but shares rose as the result beat analysts’ estimates.

Hyundai Motor added 0.44% and sister automaker Kia Corp gained 3.02%, while search engine Naver and instant messenger Kakao were up 1.55% and up 2.60%, respectively.

Tesla closed nearly 22% higher on Thursday, its biggest single-day gain in over a decade, as CEO Elon Musk’s bold forecast of surging sales reassured investors that he was still looking to grow the core EV business.
