South Korean shares reversed early gains to trade lower on Wednesday as elevated bond yields weighed on investor sentiment, putting the benchmark KOSPI on track for its biggest quarterly decline in six-and-a-half years, according to a report by Reuters.
The Kospi was down 3.01 points, or 0.04%, at 6,867.80 as of 0253 GMT, after rising as much as 1.4% earlier in the session.
