The rupee advanced by 13 paise to 67.16 against the dollar in early trade on Friday on sustained selling of the US currency by banks and exporters.

Forex dealers said besides increased selling of the greenback by banks and exporters, a higher opening in the domestic equity market backed up the rupee at the Interbank Foreign Exchange.

However, the dollar's strength against other currencies overseas capped the rupee's gain, they added.
