Seoul shares drop 4 pct; some banks outperform
Reuters - 1 hour 28 minutes ago
SEOUL, Nov 18 - Seoul shares fell on Tuesday as tech exporters like Hynix <000660.KS> and LG Elec <066570.KS> dipped on worries about worsening export conditions after the news of massive job cuts by a major U.S. bank.
But some local banks outperformed the market on hopes of capital increases.
Hynix Semiconductor lost 11.17 percent, and LG Elec fell 5.26 percent. But Hana Financial Group <086790.KS> climbed 5.45 percent and Woori Finance Holdings <053000.KS> closed flat. The banking subindex <.KS51> ended down 3.59 percent.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index <.KS11> ended down 3.91 percent at 1,036.16 points, just 16 percent off the 2008 low of 892.16 hit on October 27.
