The kiwi held gains before a decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which is widely expected to hold on rates. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, was little changed at 97.11 after a two-day advance. The euro was steady at $1.1852. The yen strengthened 0.1% to 153.12 per dollar. Sterling held at $1.3563, after a 0.5% slide in the previous session. —Ends/AG
