Dollar holds at two-month high after third-quarter GDP tops estimates

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar index rose to a session high of 96.860 .DXY on Friday morning, holding near a two-month high, after headline third-quarter gross domestic product data topped estimates.

The U.S. economy slowed less than expected in the third quarter as a tariff-related drop in soybean exports was partially offset by the strongest consumer spending in nearly four years and a surge in inventory investment.
