SEOUL: South Korean bonds edged higher on Tuesday, buoyed by continued demand from foreign investors, though caution ahead of US Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen's congressional testimony kept the gains modest.

Yield on the benchmark 10-year government bonds ended down 2 basis points, while lead March futures on three-year treasury bonds ended up 0.02 points.
