The rupee recovered by 17 paise to 64.87 against the dollar in early trade on Friday on mild selling of the greenback by exporters and a higher opening in the domestic equity market.

On Thursday, the rupee had plunged by 28 paise to end at a new three-month low of 65.04 against the US dollar even as importers actively covered unhedged positions amid fears over Fed rate hike.
