CME Group Inc. and Thomson Reuters Corp. will run the replacement for the 117-year-old silver-fixing benchmark that’s ending in August, the London Bullion Market Association said.

Testing is set for early August with the new mechanism to go live on Aug. 15, the LBMA said today in an e-mailed statement. The London Metal Exchange, Autilla Ltd., Bloomberg LP, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., ETF Securities Ltd. and Platts had also proposed alternatives last month.
