SEOUL, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:

** South Korean shares closed at a near one-month low on Monday, as losses in automakers and battery manufacturers outweighed gains in chipmakers and e-commerce firms.

** The won strengthened, while the benchmark bond yield fell.

** The benchmark KOSPI ended down 22.09 points, or 0.85%, at 2,580.71, extending its falling streak to a fourth consecutive session. It was the lowest closing level since July 12.

** The U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected in July, data showed on Friday but solid wage gains and a decline in the unemployment rate back to 3.5% pointed to continued tightness in labour market conditions.

** "The data indicated a slowing U.S. economy to a market of high profit-taking pressure," said Seo Sang-young, an analyst at Mirae Asset Securities.

** Battery maker LG Energy Solution dropped 4.81%, while peers Samsung SDI and SK Innovation fell 2.83% and 5.22%, respectively.

** Battery materials makers LG Chem and POSCO Holdings lost 3.30% and 5.56%, respectively, while Hyundai Motor shed 2.19% and its sister automaker Kia Corp fell 3.72%.

** Among other index heavyweights, biopharmaceutical manufacturers also declined but chipmakers and online platform operators advanced.

** Search engine Naver ended up 4.92% at a near 10-month high on strong second-quarter results.

** Of the total 933 issues traded, 361 shares rose.

** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 147.7 billion won ($113.15 million).

** The won ended onshore trade at 1,306.2 per dollar, 0.28% higher than its previous close.

** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield fell by 6.7 basis points (bps) to 3.673%, while the benchmark 10-year yield fell by 9.0 bps to 3.790%. ($1 = 1,305.3800 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Rashmi Aich)
