CME, in conjunction with Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO), parent of Reuters News, took over as operator of the London silver XAG= price benchmark last year, after the historic precious metals “fixes”, in use in some cases for more than a century, were replaced by electronic auctions.
CCB will join HSBC (HSBA.L), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Mitsui & Co Precious Metals, Bank of Nova Scotia – ScotiaMocatta, Toronto Dominion Bank and UBS (UBSG.VX) in taking part in the daily auction process hosted by CME and Thomson Reuters.
