I understand that this technically refers to the whole economy but I’m interested in who the major players are that set market trends.

The major players are:
* the actual companies that put out the product, for example for the smartphone “market”, that would be Apple, Samsung, etc.
* major investors; you can search for [some of the persons](https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/famous-investors/), but in general you need to consider that there are people and firms with a lot of money to invest, who will possibly have interests that are *different* than the interests of the companies that put out the product.
* the authors (the people who talk about the markets) and the audience (you, reading that article); you guys may not be “major players”, but investing does happen based on “sentiment”, i.e. articles that you’re reading and your reaction to the information (if it’s a “common” reaction).
