July 4 (Reuters) -Asian currencies gained ground against a weaker dollar on Thursday, and equities climbed, with those in Taiwan touching a record high, as data suggested a cooling U.S. economy boosted the odds of the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September.
Taipei stocks .TWII jumped as much as 1.7% to touch a record high, as chip stocks mirrored the overnight gains in their Wall Street peers. Equities in Singapore .STI rose 0.6% to remain at their highest level since April 2022.
Manila shares .PSI gained 0.9% to a one-month peak, while stocks in Jakarta .JKSE advanced 0.6% to their highest since May-end.
Among currencies, the South Korean won KRW=KFTC, Taiwanese dollar TWD=TP and Malaysian ringgit MYR= appreciating between 0.2% and 0.5%.
The dollar index =USD weakened after softer-than-expected U.S. economic data, including a weak services report and ADP employment figures, signalled a slowdown in the U.S. economy, which was also noted in the minutes of the Fed's last meeting.
That drove the odds of a rate cut in September up to about 67%, from about 60% a week ago, per the CME FedWatch Tool.
"Asian emerging markets are enjoying the 'risk-on' mode, with both Asian equities and Asian FX appreciating. Bonds are enjoying the rally too after the rally in U.S. treasuries last night," said Chandresh Jain, Rates and FX strategist, Asia, Global Markets, BNP Paribas.
In Asia, the Bank of Korea could be the first to lower rates since the country's inflation has eased faster than the central bank's projection, Jain added.
However, a Reuters poll showed thatemerging FX is unlikely to recover this year's losses.
Regional investors now look out for inflation data from Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan, along with U.S. nonfarm payrolls data, all set to be released on Friday.
