The rupee recovered by 31 paise to 67.76 against the dollar in early trade today, snapping the three-day falling streak on fresh selling of the US currency by banks and exporters.

Besides, the dollar's weakness against some currencies overseas, supported the rupee.

Forex dealers said rebound in domestic stock markets also helped the domestic unit to strengthen against the dollar.
