The yen gained for the first time in four days versus the dollar after minutes of the Bank of Japan’s October meeting showed some officials saw risks to the economy. Europe’s 17-nation shared currency climbed versus the greenback as China’s central-bank governor said it was important to his nation’s reserve management and an ECB policy maker said inflation should pick up gradually. Brazil’s real fell against most major counterparts.
