Rupee gains 4 paise against Dollar in early trade

The Rupee strengthened by 4 paise to 64.32 against the US Dollar in early trade at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market on sustained selling of the American currency by banks and exporters.

Forex dealers said that besides continued selling of the greenback by banks and exporters, a higher opening of the domestic equity market backed the Rupee.
