SINGAPORE Jan 11 (Reuters): South Korea's won led gains among Asian currencies on Tuesday as upbeat economic data raised prospects of an interest rate hike, while telecom stocks kept Singapore shares on track for a fourth straight session of rise.

The Indian rupee, Malaysia's ringgit and Singapore's dollar firmed between 0.2% and 0.3%, as the US dollar stalled a day before crucial inflation data which could provide more clarity on policy normalisation by the Federal Reserve.
