Asian stocks (MXAP) rose, sending the MSCI Asia Pacific Index toward its biggest two-day gain in a month, amid speculation European leaders are closer to stemming the region’s debt crisis.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.5 percent to 111.58 as of 9:05 a.m. in Tokyo, headed for its biggest two-day increase since Oct. 28. All but two of 10 industries on the measure rose. Almost four stocks advanced for each that fell on the index.
