Grey Market Premium
The term 'Grey Market Premium' refers to the additional amount that investors are willing to pay over the issue price.
The issue price refers to the price at which shares are made available for purchase prior to being listed on a stock exchange.
GMP reflects on how an IPO issue from a certain firm would perform on the listing day. A positive GMP premium indicates that an IPO is anticipated to list at a profit, whereas a negative GMP indicates that an IPO is anticipated to list at a loss.
Grey Market
The grey market, also known as the parallel market, is an unofficial, unregulated sector where financial securities are traded.
It is therefore a site where shares of a firm are bought and sold outside of the official trading channels and it is unsafe to be there because it is not governed by market regulator SEBI.
It is not unlawful, despite the fact that it is unregulated. Its trading in financial instruments like startup shares that are not formally listed in the regulated market is what gives it its 'grey' status.
