SEOUL, April 3 Asia Pulse - South Korea's shares are expected to either move in a tight range or go upward this week, as investor concerns over corporate first-quarter earnings have eased, analysts said Saturday.
"Most investor worries over first quarter earnings have already been digested by the stock market," said Ahn Jeong-jin, an analyst at Woori Investment & Securities.

Investors snapped up a total of 1 trillion won (US$1 billion) through program buying, which occurred for a sixth day as of Friday. Institutions bought a total of 775.5 billion won for the week, while foreigners snapped up 230.5 billion won.
