The rupee rose 9 paise to 83.10 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday amid a retreating dollar versus major rivals and positive cues from equity markets.

The rupee recovered from its all-time low levels and appreciated by 10 paise to 83.13 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday, tracking a positive trend in domestic equities.
