[Market Evening Summary]
Spot gold prices oscillated at high levels during Tuesday's Asian session, opening at 3745.81 USD per ounce and continuing to refresh historical highs to 3759.28 USD per ounce.

Silver is also experiencing high-level oscillations, with the bullish trend remaining intact.
[Core Influence Factors Analysis]
Hawkish Fed signals exerting pressure: Multiple Fed officials have released strong hawkish signals, with Cleveland Fed President Mester emphasizing the need for "extreme caution" in controlling inflation. The policy divide maintains a delicate "nine hawks and ten doves" balance, with market expectations for a November rate cut dropping from 65% to 58%.
Geopolitical conflicts escalating and boosting safe-haven demand: Israel's military operations against Lebanon have intensified to a "war level" with the launch of Operation Northern Arrows, resulting in significant casualties and heightened risks of regional spillover, which continues to strengthen gold's safe-haven premium.
Upcoming economic data impact: The US manufacturing PMI preliminary value will be released tonight, with market expectations at 53.5%. If the data exceeds expectations, it could reinforce hawkish policy positions; conversely, if it falls short, it might activate dovish narratives.
