Rupee gains 15 paise against greenback

Mumbai, Aug 22: The Rupee gained about 15 paise at 43.36/37 per US Dollar from its previous close of 43.51/52 per dollar amid mixed global cues in the early trade.

The Indian unit edged higher against the greenback after a large company was seen selling dollars it received for a joint venture, but higher oil prices are expected to keep a lid on the gains, dealers said. Rupee had touched a 17-month low of 43.87 earlier in this week.
