The New Zealand dollar was up slightly at close, trading in a narrow range and mirroring the strong Australian dollar.
BNZ chief dealer Mike Symonds told NZPA he expected a quiet overnight for the kiwi, with banks in many countries on holiday.
Today is a bank holiday in both Britain and the US.
"Given this it's likely we'll see further range trading in the kiwi in the near term," he said.
Traders, however, are expecting it to lose ground against the greenback this week with the release of a slew of high profile US data.
The New Zealand dollar had risen to US63.50c this evening after opening at US63.35c, and trading at a range of 67.35, to 67.54.
It slid on overseas markets in the early hours of Saturday morning (NZT). From a value of around US63.90c shortly before 1am, it was down to below US63.20c within four hours, recovering slightly since then.
The kiwi also closed higher tonight against the Australian dollar, buying A83.72c from A83.62c this morning, and the euro up to 0.4982 euro from 0.4975.
However, against the yen it had fallen from 71.50 yen to 71.28.
The TWI was up from 63.15 to 63.23.
