Oct 10 (Reuters) -Emerging market stocks rebounded on Thursday following two days of declines, buoyed by Chinese stocks after the country's central bank kicked off a swap plan, while currencies were muted ahead of a key U.S. inflation print.
MSCI's gauge for emerging market equities .MSCIEF jumped 0.7% by 0830 GMT. The index was set to record its best day in more than a week.
More than half of the top ten constituents on the regional equities index were trading in the green.
The People's Bank of China said it would start accepting applications for its 500-billion-yuan ($70.62 billion) swap facility from financial institutions, to aid the capital market.
The blue-chip CSI 300 Index .CSI300 and the Shanghai Composite Index .SSEC both closed above 1% each.
China's finance ministry will detail plans on fiscal stimulus to boost the economy at a highly-expected news conference on Saturday, signalling more forceful policies to revive growth.
All eyes will be on the U.S. consumer price index data at 1230 GMT, which is expected to show that headline inflation moderated to 0.1% in September on a monthly basis, while rising 2.3% year-on-year.
Money markets currently see an 80% chance of 25 basis points rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in November and a similar-sized cut in December. FEDWATCH

In central and eastern Europe, the Hungarian forint EURHUF= slipped against the euro as the country's headline inflation continued to fall in September and came in a touch below analyst expectations.
On the flip side, Czech consumer prices jumped more than expected, sending mixed signals for near-term interest rate cuts in the region and pushing the Czech crown EURCZK= 0.2% higher against the euro.
The polish zloty EURPLN= was flat as Poland's 2023 GDP growth was revised to 0.1% on a yearly basis versus earlier estimates of 0.2%.
