The New Zealand dollar rose against the greenback today in a quiet trading session.
The kiwi recently traded at US82.12c, up from US82.05c. On the Trade Weighted Index against major trading partners' currencies it was at 73.40, down slightly from 73.47.
ASB Institutional head of institutional FX sales Tim Kelleher said the kiwi had a quiet day.
"The New Zealand dollar got sold off overnight in London and in Asia was trading sideways but it has been a very quiet day, there has not been much movement in any currencies at all," Kelleher said.
"Markets are still digesting the Greece news from yesterday [that another round of bailout funding would be issued]. Locally, markets will be looking to the Reserve Bank monetary policy statement next week."
