NEW YORK, Jan 17 (Reuters) - The dollar held its earlier gains versus a basket of currencies on Wednesday as stronger-than-forecast data on domestic industrial output in December supported the notion of a steady U.S. economic expansion. At 9:27 a.m. (1427 GMT), the index that tracks the greenback against six other major currencies was last up 0.27 percent at 90.639. It fell to a three-year low earlier at 90.113.
