Macquarie revives talks with Jefferies on precious metals business – sources

Australia's Macquarie Group is looking to recruit the precious metals trading team of Jefferies Group LLC's commodities brokerage, two sources familiar with the matter said on Friday. Jefferies, which is owned by Leucadia National Corp, said last month that it would sell most of its Bache unit's commodities and financial derivatives accounts to Societe Generale.
