Deutsche Bank AG will withdraw from participating in setting gold and silver benchmarks in London after Europe’s top investment bank joined JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley in cutting back on commodities.

The German bank will sell its gold and silver fixing membership and stop submitting gold forward offered rates, according to a person familiar with the decision, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. The move comes a month after the Frankfurt-based lender said it will cut about 200 jobs in raw materials.
