JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) has reportedly added its metals futures brokerage to the sale of its physical commodities business, sources familiar with the matter said. According to Reuters, a spokesman from JPMorgan, initially declined to comment, but later said, "JP Morgan's metals futures brokerage is not up for sale and we continue to be committed to that business." The sources said the sale would include its London Metal Exchange (LME) open outcry floor trading team.

A deal could come later in January 2014.
