Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) ticked up 0.1% amid a report that the UK may make a decision on its review of the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) deal as soon as next week. 
The UK Competition and Markets Authority is on target to deliver its decision on the $69 billion acquisition of Activision (ATVI) before the Oct. 18 deadline, according to a CTFN report, which cited a source familiar with the matter. The CMA may give its stamp of approval beginning next week.
The latest update comes after the UK antitrust regulator gave preliminary approval for the transaction last month. The UK authority said as the time that it opened consultation on Microsoft's remedies until this Friday.
