    SEOUL, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial
markets:
 
** South Korean shares fell on Thursday after a dip in U.S.
shares as tech heavyweights dropped, and as investors continue
to fret over a slowdown in global economy recovery from the
pandemic. The Korean won weakened, while the benchmark bond
yield fell.

            fell 0.79% and peer SK Hynix             lost 1.89%,

fell 2.44%. Kakao             dropped 7%.             
 
** Declines in Kakao and Naver are weighing on the index, as
investors are increasingly worried about regulatory crackdown in
platform IT companies, said Na Jeong-hwan, an analyst at Cape
Investment & Securities.
 
** Wall Street sank and European stocks suffered their worst
one-day rout in three weeks on Wednesday on uncertainty over the
pace of economic recovery.             
 
** Foreigners were net sellers of 373.2 billion won worth of
shares on the main board.

dollar, down 0.2% from the previous day, while in
non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract
              was quoted at 1,170.6.
