LONDON/SINGAPORE—The dollar fell slightly against the yen on Tuesday as markets remained on high alert for signs of Japanese intervention, but the broader market was placid with U.S. traders off for a public holiday.

The greenback was down 0.18 percent at 1104 GMT to 144.44 yen, after rising 0.27 percent on Monday.
