NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all gained in early trading.

The government announced Thursday that the economy grew at a solid 3.2% pace in the third quarter, driven by strong consumer spending and exports. That figure beat economists' expectations, and although it's not indicative of gangbusters growth, the data seems to show the economy is moving forward modestly.

U.S. stocks fell more than 1% Wednesday after the Fed said it was cutting another $10 billion per month from its economic stimulus program. Investors were disappointed the central bank didn't address the recent trouble in emerging markets.

Stocks around the world have been rattled in this week as investors worry about an emerging markets currencies sell-off sparked by a reduced flow of cheap money.
