SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Discontinuation of London Silver Fix

On Thursday, August 14, 2014, the London Silver Fix pricing process will cease to exist in its current form.

The London Bullion Market Association is in the process of considering a replacement for daily silver pricing to run without interruption.

Platts currently publishes the London Silver Fix in both cents/oz and pence/oz, as well as weekly and monthly averages of the daily fixes, in Platts Metals Alert, Platts Metals Daily and the Metals Week supplement to Metals Daily.

Subscribers should be aware that due to the LBMA changes, there could be an interruption in publication of the silver fix data, or Platts may not be able to publish them going forward.

If this should occur, the last publication of the daily fix will be on August 13, 2014, the last weekly average will publish on August 8, 2014, and the last monthly average -- for July 2014 -- will publish on July 31.

Any questions or feedback should be directed to Karen McBeth, +1 202 383 2110, or karen.mcbeth@platts.com.
