SEOUL, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares snapped a six-session gaining streak on Tuesday and retreated from a seven-week high hit in the previous session as risk-off sentiment spread across Asian markets over Sino-U.S. tensions. The won was flat, while the benchmark bond yield dropped.

** The benchmark KOSPI ended down 12.63 points, or 0.52%, at 2,439.62.

** The U.S. House Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was set to visit Taiwan on Tuesday, inducing China's military activities as a response and a sell-off of risky assets across Asian markets, especially China.

** Worries of worsening Sino-U.S. tensions resurfaced, providing a ground for the stock market's correction following a strong rebound, said Daishin Securities analyst Lee Kyoung-min, who saw little possibility of the visit leading to actual military or economic conflicts.

** South Korea's consumer inflation sped up to an almost 24-year high in July, data showed, but other figures indicated the rate of price rises may be near a peak.

** The Bank of Korea said it was in line with its projected path and expected the inflation to stay above 6% for the time being.

** Among the heavyweights, technology giant Samsung Electronics rose 0.65% but peer SK Hynix fell 0.62%, while battery maker LG Energy Solution lost 0.60%.

** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 296.1 billion won ($226.73 million) on the main board.

** The won was quoted at 1,304.7 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.05% lower than its previous close.

** In offshore trading, the won was quoted up 0.1% at 1,306.1 per dollar, while in non-deliverable forward trading its one-month contract was quoted at 1,305.1.

** In money and debt markets, September futures on three-year treasury bonds added 0.28 point to 105.56 in late afternoon trade.

** The most liquid 3-year Korean treasury bond yield fell by 5.7 basis points to 3.024%, while the benchmark 10-year yield fell by 9.3 basis points to 3.093%. ($1 = 1,305.9800 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Rashmi Aich)
