Asian stocks bounced off a two-month low and headed for their best day in seven weeks on Wednesday, as data showing China's manufacturing activity expanded at the fastest pace in over a decade injected a jolt of optimism in hitherto gloomy markets.

China's yuan rose about 0.4% - its most in more than a month - to 6.9063 to the dollar. The Australian dollar reversed losses made after softer-than-expected Aussie growth and inflation figures and rose 0.3% to $0.6751.

The next flush of economic indicators are likely to be crucial as markets gauge whether future rate hikes are sufficiently priced in now. Two-year Treasury yields , a guide to short-term U.S. rate expectations, are close to four-month highs, but at 4.8347%, are below a November peak of 4.8830%. Benchmark 10-year yields stood at 3.9396% in Asia.

Gains steadied after rains in parts of the U.S. winter wheat belt and optimism over a Russia-Ukraine export deal drove investors to liquidate some long positions.
