NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is on track to grow at a 2.5 percent annualized pace in the fourth quarter following latest data on personal spending, investment and home resales, the Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDP Now forecast model showed on Thursday.

The latest fourth-quarter GDP estimate was lower than the 2.6 percent growth rate calculated on Dec. 16, the Atlanta Fed said on its website.
