Market makers see the order flow before the market opens and can adjust price accordingly to balance the buys and sells. Sometimes, there is company-specific news that drives the pre-market price change, but many times it's simply the mood of the overall market.
For instance, the monthly jobs report can have a big impact on both stocks and bonds as the market opens.
