Sirius and XM merger approval close?

Briefing.com, a site that is widely followed by traders, is citing an unnamed report Wednesday morning saying that “XMSR-SIRI merger could receive approval from DoJ and FCC tonight.” That isn’t much in the way of any real information. but don’t tell that to Wall Street. Shares of XM were up nearly 4 percent in mid-morning trading while Sirius’ stock gained more than 5 percent. This is worth noting considering that the rest of the stock market, and the tech sector in particular, is trading lower Wednesday, thanks in large part to Apple’s (AAPL) disappointing outlook.
