marché gris, marché de gré à gré
Comme il s'agit d'une question relative à l'économie, je pense que le terme approprié est marché gris, qui s'emploie aussi bien dans le contexte boursier qu'industriel (cf références ci-dessous). Marché de gré à gré décrit les transactions informelles entre opérateurs financiers en dehors des structures boursières officielles.
Bonne chance!

mieux à mon avis que marché noir, car moins connoté illégal en français
