The rupee recovered by 17 paise to 64.23 against the dollar on fresh selling of the US currency by exporters and banks amid strong domestic equities.

The domestic unit opened strong at 64.25. It hovered in a range of 64.33 and 64.23 before quoting at 64.32, up 8 paise at 4.30 pm local time.
On Friday, the rupee had dropped 14 paise against the greenback to end at a near two-month low of 64.40 on bouts of dollar demand from importers and banks.
