Rupiah, ringgit, and baht advance

Malaysia c.bank to hold interest rates - Reuters poll

Sept 5 (Reuters) -Emerging Asian stocks gained some ground on Thursday after a steep sell-off in the previous session, as traders raised their bets of an outsized rate cut by the Federal Reserve on lingering concerns over the growth outlook in the United States.

An MSCI gauge of Asian emerging market assets outside of Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS gained as much as 0.8%, partially recovering from a 1.8% decline on Wednesday when it ended at its lowest level since mid-August.

Stocks in Taiwan .TWII, which makes up around 21% of the regional index, gained up to 1.9% after a sharp 4.5% tumble in the previous session, with the world's largest contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co 2330.TW adding 2.8%.

"While the magnitude of the rate cut continues to be a key concern, growth and the probability of a recession will also be an ultimate consideration," analysts at Maybank said, referring to the Fed's expected easing and the U.S. economy.

Volatility in stock markets around the world has intensified after soft U.S. economic data reignited concerns about the health of the world's biggest economy, prompting a flight from risky assets and raising the odds of the Fed delivering a more aggressive easing in monetary policy.

The market is now pricing in a 45% chance of a half point rate cut by the Fed on Sept. 18, up from 38% a day ago, with 110 basis points of easing expected over the remaining three meetings this year, CME's FedWatch tool showed.

The dollar index =USD, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, was trading around 101.33 in Asian hours, after a larger-than-expected decline in U.S. job openings in July.

Traders will also be looking at U.S. services industry and jobless claims data later in the global day, with the main event being the U.S. payrolls data on Friday to try and gauge what the Fed is likely to do.

Chris Weston, head of research at broker Pepperstone, said a "poor" non-farm payrolls report could result in an even chance of a 50 basis point cut, attracting more dollar sellers "across the FX landscape".

"There is an unwavering conviction that the Fed is going to bring the Fed funds rate towards a neutral setting somewhat more urgently," Weston said.

Currencies in emerging Asia have benefited from rising expectations that aggressive U.S. monetary easing will make investing in high-yielding assets in the region more attractive, with August the best month this year for most.

On Thursday, the Malaysian ringgit MYR= and the Indonesian rupiah IDR= gained around 0.5% each, while the Thai baht THB=TH added 0.6% to touch its highest level in seven weeks.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is expected to hold its benchmark policy rate at 3.00% in a meeting later in the day, a Reuters poll showed.

In the Philippines, stocks .PSI and the peso PHP= were largely unchanged. Data showed annual inflation slowed to a seven-month low in August, allowing the central bank more room to further cut rates.

Elsewhere, the Taiwan dollar TWD=TP added 0.3% while Chinese yuan CNY=CFXS gained 0.2%.



HIGHLIGHTS:

** Thai headline inflation slows in August, still below c.bank target

** Philippine c.bank sees downside risk for inflation outlook in 2024, 2025

** Malaysia PM says South China Sea exploration within territorial waters
