Market officials said, "Because of the caution about the situation in Ukraine, investors are predominantly buying the yen, which is considered to be a relatively safe currency to avoid risks.

When it was informed that it was expected to be held, the number of wait-and-see investors who wanted to determine the result increased, and the price movement was modest. "
