* KOSPI falls, foreigners net sellers

* Korean won strengthens against dollar

* South Korea benchmark bond yield flat

SEOUL, July 4 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares fell on Tuesday, after posting a steep jump in the previous session, as investors awaited clues on the United States' monetary policy path. The Korean won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield was little changed.

** The benchmark KOSPI fell 7.19 points, or 0.28%, to 2,595.28 as of 0211 GMT, following its 1.49% jump on Monday, its biggest in four-and-a-half months.

** South Korea's consumer inflation slowed more than expected and hit a 21-month low, weighed by falling oil and agricultural product prices.

** "The slowdown in inflation does not indicate the possibility of a rate cut, so it had limited impact on the stock market," said Na Jeong-hwan, analyst at NH Investment Securities.

** Investor focus is more on U.S. monetary policy, with the minutes of the Federal Reserve's meeting and employment data due for release this week, Na added.

** Chipmaker Samsung Electronics rose 0.27% and peer SK Hynix gained 0.26%.

** Battery maker LG Energy Solution and parent LG Chem fell more than 1% each, after posting sharp gains a day before on U.S. electric-vehicle giant Tesla's record sales.

** Among other index heavyweights, Hyundai Motor slid 0.24% but its sister automaker Kia Corp was up 0.45%. Search engine Naver fell 0.37%, while instant messenger Kakao dropped 1.57%.

** Of the total 932 issues traded, 241 shares rose.

** Foreigners were net sellers of shares worth 93.7 billion won ($71.99 million).

** The won was quoted at 1,300.6 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.57% higher than its previous close.

** In money and debt markets, September futures on three-year treasury bonds fell 0.03 points to 103.89.

** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield fell by 0.5 basis points to 3.616%, while the benchmark 10-year yield rose by 0.2 basis points to 3.622%. ($1 = 1,301.6600 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Janane Venkatraman)
