SEOUL, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Seoul shares are set for a
technical rebound on Tuesday but gains will be limited, with
investors placing little hope in a concrete debt solution being
reached at European Union meetings this week.	
    "Shares fell closer yesterday to the resistance level seen
near 1,800. With neither favourable nor unfavourable new
developments of note in Europe, the market is likely to post a
small rebound today and remain in the 1,800 to 1,900 range this
week," said Kwak Joong-bo, a market analyst at Samsung
Securities.	
    The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) fell
0.9 percent to close at 1,826.49 points on Monday.
