During this time they have been one of the largest traders of physical gold and silver bullion and our business with them has been very substantial throughout.We have the utmost respect for this organization and its owners the Ashraf family.

For both our gold and silver surveys, Dubai has always been the key to understanding not only the many markets of the Middle East but above all India, now the world’s largest consumers of gold. Our staff have regarded the annual meeting and intervening contacts with Mr Ashraf as the starting point for the analysis of the above markets. The information which they provided has always been characterized by openness, comprehensiveness and accuracy. In addition, from our extensive network of contacts, throughout the gold and silver markets, there is no doubt that the Ashrafs and Eastern Trading are held by the very highest regard by everyone in the market.
