NEW YORK, Sep 26 (Reuters) The dollar firmed to session highs against the euro on Tuesday after stronger-than-expected consumer confidence data and a regional manufacturing report.

The euro slipped to session lows against the dollar around $1.2670 from about $1.2690 shortly before the data and down about 0.6 percent from late on Monday.

The Conference Board's consumer confidence index rose to 104.5 in September, above economists' median forecast for a 102.3 reading and an upwardly-revised 100.2 in August. The index had dropped in August to a nine-month low, originally reported at 99.6.
