Supply and demand. (Perception)...............................
If you've got a car & want to sell it at $10,000 but others are selling the same year and model for $ 9,000 then.... in order for you to sell your car you'll have to be at $9,000. If you want to sell it quickly... you may reduce the price to $8,500..... and so on....................... |

The primary factor that drives the stock market is BUYERS
Without buyers, the stock will drop, when there are many buyers, the price of the stock moves higher
If a company announces great earnings, new product,etc and know one cares, the price of the stock will drop since there are no buyers |

rumors, panic of stockholders, public news about the company (such as merger reports, or drug pulled from shelves), and of course profits/losses reported on quarterly/annual reports make it change each day. |

The more people who wants the stock and are buying, the more the stock will cost, going up. The more people who doesn't want the stock and are selling, the less the stock will cost, going down.
Stocks usually moves on the slightest news. For example, earnings, Fed/government news, unemployment rate, other economics reports, etc. |
