The euro dipped on Monday and investors covering short positions in the dollar following a slide in the U.S. currency late last week.
But the euro still holds higher after Friday's gain, when it climbed more than 1% against the greenback.
The euro was supported after Greek central bank chief George Provopoulos was quoted as saying on Friday that the country will repay its debts in full without restructuring if it sticks to a fiscal austerity plan.
"The speed of the dollar's decline on Friday was quite extraordinary, so investors are now buying the currency back," said Sumino Kamei, senior currency analyst at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
"With both the UK and the U.S. markets closed on Monday, we're not expecting any rapid moves, but the market will be paying close attention to any possible remarks regarding the state of European finances and may act quite quickly on such remarks," Kamei added.
In a sign of the recent weakness of the U.S. dollar, the New Zealand dollar hit a 26-year high on Monday.
kiwi was supported by New Zealand's data that showed the country has recorded its biggest monthly trade surplus on the back of higher prices for dairy products. The trade suplus came at NZ$1.11bn ($908m) in April and was nearly double economists’ forecasts.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
