On the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 16th, the yen exchange rate fluctuated slightly due to a mix of buying and selling over the news that a Russian-made missile fell into Polish territory and two people were reportedly killed.
As of 5:00 pm on the 16th, the yen exchange rate was ¥139.37 to ¥139.39 to the dollar, a decline of ¥4.00 from the previous day.
On the other hand, against the euro, 1 euro is 144.98 yen to 145.02 yen, which is 3 yen higher than the previous day.
The euro was 1 euro = 1.0402 to 04 dollars against the dollar.
A market official said, ``The news of the missile drop has increased the sense of urgency over the situation in Ukraine, but this situation has changed after President Biden of the United States said, ``It is difficult to believe that it was launched from Russia.'' It has softened somewhat. As various information came out, the exchange rate was mixed with buying and selling, and the yen exchange rate moved slightly."
