SEOUL, July 10 (Reuters) - Seoul shares fell on Friday as sentiment grew more cautious ahead of corporate earnings season, with some techs falling as investors moved to lock in profits on their recent gains, but banks including KB Financial Group (105560.KS) rose.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) finished down 0.16 percent at 1,428.62 points.
