* KOSPI rises, foreigners net buyers
* Korean won weakens against dollar
* South Korea benchmark bond yield rises
SEOUL, June 14 (Reuters) - Round-up of South Korean financial markets:
** South Korean shares traded in a narrow range on Wednesday as investors waited for the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting outcome before making bets in either direction.
** The Korean won weakened, while the benchmark bond yield rose.
** The benchmark KOSPI was up just 0.17 point, or 0.01%, at 2,638.12 as of 0138 GMT after swaying no more than 0.3% in either direction.
** South Korea's import prices dropped in May and unemployment rate hit a record low, but investors were more keen on external factors, most notably the Fed's meeting that ends later in the day.
** U.S. inflation data for May came in below expectations, logging its slowest annual rise since March 2021, supporting views that the Fed will hold interest rates steady at the meeting.
** "The most important is its future policy projection. The market should be able to take one more hike in July, but two more hikes may cause some discomfort," said analyst Choi Yoo-june at Shinhan Securities.
** Most index heavyweights moved less than 1%. Chipmakers and online service providers fell, while automakers and biopharmaceutical manufacturers advanced.
** Of the total 934 shares traded, 316 rose.
** Foreigners were net buyers of shares worth 59.7 billion won ($46.88 million).
** The won was quoted at 1,275.2 per dollar on the onshore settlement platform, 0.30% lower than its previous close at 1,271.4.
** In money and debt markets, June futures on three-year treasury bonds fell 0.16 point to 104.03.
** The most liquid three-year Korean treasury bond yield rose by 5.6 basis points to 3.540%, while the benchmark 10-year yield rose by 6.9 basis points to 3.647%. ($1 = 1,273.6000 won) (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by Dhanya Ann Thoppil)
