The rupee recovered from a 30-month low by rising 13 paise to 68.34 against the dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange in early trade today on fresh selling of the US currency by banks and exporters.

Dealers said fresh selling of the American unit by exporters and banks supported the domestic currency but dollar's strength against other currencies overseas, limited the rupee's gain.

Moreover, a higher opening in the domestic equity market also helped rupee to strengthen against the dollar, they said.
