Rising for the fourth day in a row, the rupee added 28 paise to Rs 55.21 against the dollar in early trade today on the Interbank Foreign Exchange as the American unit weakened against euro and other currencies overseas.

Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex recovered by 84.75 points, or 0.47%, to 17,931.61.
