By Joanna Plucinska WARSAW, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Central European stock markets largely gained, tracking their global peers, and some regional currencies strengthened after an upbeat China manufacturing survey offset discouraging signals in the region's PMI results. China's factory activity showed a surprising rise for November, increasing risk appetite in Asia and Europe. In Central Europe, the PX index in Prague rose 0.45% and Budapest's main index 0.40%. Poland's WIG 20 was down 0.11%. Czech lender Moneta Money Bank's shares roses over 2% after it announced late Friday it was in exclusive talks to buy the Czech building savings and mortgage business of Germany's Wuestenrot & Wuerttembergische AG. Most central European currencies gained as well. "I think the stronger data in China is something which should benefit Europe and European currencies ... that's supportive for the euro bloc and euro equivalents like the zloty," said Rafal Benecki, chief economist at ING Bank Slaski. The zloty had gained 0.3% by 1016 GMT, with a Santander note saying they expect the momentum of the EURPLN to continue towards 4.34. The Hungarian forint also rebounded, gaining 0.39% to 333.18 per euro, after sinking to a record low on Thursday. CIB Bank analysts said in a note no positive correction was in sight that would lead to lasting gains for the forint. "One of the main drivers behind the exchange rate could continue to be expectations for a continuation of loose monetary policy," CIB Bank analysts said. HPMI data in the region mostly remained negative, following continued shrinking in euro zone factory activity. The exception was Hungary, where the PMI rose in November. Polish manufacturing activity continued its decline, albeit at a slower pace than the month before. New orders fell, but more slowly. Czech manufacturing activity saw a drop to 43.5 in November, closer to July's 10-year low of 43.1. In Hungary, production volumes and new orders declined but still remained above 50 points, with PMI rising to 53.0 in November. Bond yields also rose in the region, with 10-year yields in Poland up 5 basis points to 2.064% and in the Czech Republic up 2.9 basis points to 1.493%. "We follow the core market ... risk appetite is related to macro figures in the euro zone and expectations for the Fed policy meeting next week. Markets are afraid that the Fed's rhetoric may be less dovish than expected," said Arkadiusz Urbanski, an economist at Bank Pekao SA.
