SEOUL, Sept 29 (Reuters) - South Korean treasury bonds fell further early on Tuesday, with rebounding shares and impending data keeping debt investors at bay.
Seoul shares opened more than 1 percent higher after losses in the previous session, dampening investor appetite for safer assets, while many market players braced for a fresh set of data that may add to pressure for an early rate hike.
The benchmark five-year treasury bond yield rose 2 basis points to 4.83 percent while December treasury bond futures fell 6 ticks to 108.60 as of 0002 GMT.
