The yen ended a four-day advance against the euro after BOJ data showed the nation’s monetary base posted the second-biggest surge on record. A 52 percent jump in Japan’s monetary base in January was the biggest on record after a 53 percent climb in November. The balance stood at 200.9 trillion yen ($1.98 trillion), which the central bank plans to increase to 270 trillion yen by the end of this year.

The central bank is doubling the provision of money in two years to combat deflation. The BOJ’s easing has had the intended impact so far, Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told Japanese parliament today. Annual inflation will accelerate toward the central bank’s goal of 2 percent from the end of the current fiscal year in March 2015 to the following 12-month period, Kuroda said.

The Australian dollar rose after the Reserve Bank left interest unchanged and said conditions in emerging markets are considerably more challenging than a year ago. Government bonds pared gains.

The euro depreciated versus the dollar before the European Central Bank meets this week as concern over weakening inflation in the region grows.
