  • 1.What is the Grey Market
  • The grey market is an over-the-counter market, which is generally used for pre-IPO trading in Hong Kong, after the close of the trading day before the IPO.
  • Different from the underlying stock transactions that are matched through the system of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the grey market is matched with quotations through the internal system provided by some brokers.

    Therefore, for the same new stock, the grey market quotations of different brokers may be different.It is worth noting that on the first day of listing on the second day, the price of the new shares is still calculated from the issue price, not the closing price of the previous day.
