The safe-haven Japanese currency was pushed higher as tensions in Ukraine flared up again. Ukraine's president stated that Russian soldiers had entered into Ukrainian territory, which sent the Greenback lower against the Yen and the pair was trading at 103.70. Furthermore, the Euro also declined against the Yen as both the situation in Ukraine and low inflation weighted on the currency and the EUR/JPY pair fell to 136.42.
