Seoul shares end flat on earnings caution; Hynix jumps

SEOUL, July 2 (Reuters) - Seoul shares ended flat on Thursday as investors remained cautious ahead of corporate earnings season, and the index was weighed down by losses in shipbuilders and energy issues.

But Hynix Semiconductor (000660.KS) jumped on gains in DRAM memory chip prices.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) finished flat, down mere 0.01 percent at 1,411.48 points.
