The rupee gained 15 paise to Rs 45.12 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market today on the back of dollar’s weakness against other currency rivals.
Forex dealers said continued weakness of the dollar against other currencies and shifting of funds from the forex market to firming equities mainly pulled down the dollar.
