South Korea's KOSPI<\/a> stock index tracked Asian peers lower on Tuesday, with investor sentiment taking a hit as China expressed anger after a US Navy destroyer sailed near islands claimed by China in the disputed South China Sea. <\/p>\n

The Korean won weakened and bond yields also fell. <\/p>\n

While South Korea's unemployment rate hit an eight-year high in August as mandatory minimum wages rose, the finance minister warned on Tuesday of the country posting employment losses in September in annual terms, after a small addition of 3,000 jobs in August. <\/p>\n

At 06:32 GMT, the KOSPI ended down 29.31 points or 1.25 per cent at 2,309.57, marking its biggest per centage loss since August 13. <\/p>\n

South Korean chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix closed 1.4 per cent and 2.7 per cent lower, respectively; analysts expect Samsung Electronics to mark a peak in earnings as a two-year super cycle of tight supply and soaring demand comes to an end. <\/p>\n

The won was quoted at 1,119.2 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.66 per cent weaker than its previous close at 1,111.8, extending loss into a second day. <\/p>\n

In offshore trading, the won was quoted at 1,118.7 per US dollar<\/a>, down 0.53 per cent from the previous day, while in one-year non-deliverable forwards it was being asked at 1,101.7 per dollar. <\/p>\n

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 1.52 per cent after US stocks ended the previous session with mild gains. Japanese stocks rose 0.1 per cent. <\/p>\n

The KOSPI is down around 5.2 per cent so far this year, and up by 3.54 per cent in the previous 30 days. <\/p>\n

The current price-to-earnings ratio is 12.10, the dividend yield is 1.28 per cent and the market capitalisation is 1,242.04 trillion won. <\/p>\n

The trading volume during the session on the KOSPI index was 281,425,000 shares, and of the total traded issues of 899, the number of advancing shares was 193. <\/p>\n

Foreigners were net sellers of 243,941 million won worth of shares. <\/p>\n

The US dollar has risen 4.94 per cent against the won this year. The won's high for the year is 1,053.55 per dollar on April 2 2018 and low is 1,140.4 on July 19 2018. <\/p>\n

In money and debt markets<\/a>, December futures on three-year treasury bonds rose 0.04 points to 108.37. <\/p>\n

The Korean 3-month Certificate of Deposit benchmark rate was quoted at 1.65 per cent, while the benchmark 3-year Korean treasury bond yielded 2.011 per cent, lower than the previous day's 2.02 per cent. <\/p>\n
