At this time, the market is almost not moving.

But in the last few years the markets are really moving all that years with very good rates of consistency cause of Trump election and other major events in the world like Brexit and so on. I even hardly remember the time when it wasn't moving cause of "news"

When there are no important announcements, then market is moved by trading between banks, investment banks, hedge funds, and other larger participants. However, sometimes news about oil or stock exchange performance can influence some volatility, especially in the US
