The New Zealand dollar was rangebound around US61c today, with no data to drive it.
The kiwi closed at US60.89c , virtually flat against US60.88c on Friday, as the US dollar weakened to a three-week low against the yen.
Dealers predicted a quiet day tomorrow as well, due to the July 4 holiday in America.
"I would say markets are probably going to be a bit subdued for the first two days of this week," said Murray Hindley, chief forex dealer for ANZ.
Weaker retail sales data out of Australia saw the kiwi increase against the Aussie, but it closed at A81.87c (A82.14c on Friday).
It edged away from four-year lows against the euro last week,
Overnight dealers said the kiwi could expect to run into resistance at US61.20c with support at US60.60c.
The greenback softened after the Bank of Japan quarterly "tankan" poll of business confidence strengthened expectation of an interest rate rise.
Against the euro it was worth 0.4761 (from 0.4788), against the yen 69.68 (69.92), and against the British pound 0.3298 (0.3320).
The TWI fell from 61.07 to 61.09.
