** Brokerage TD Cowen raises price targets on several
precious-metal miners
** TD Cowen expects a strong Q3 given record-high gold
prices and relatively flat cost expectations
** Geopolitical instability in the Middle East, U.S. Fed
rate cuts, safe-haven flows, central bank buying and a weakening
U.S. dollar are all contributing to bringing gold to multiple
record highs in Q3 - TD Cowen
** Brokerage expects to see continued margin expansion for
gold prices in the second half of the year
** Expects silver to have more room to run as the U.S. Fed
continues to cut rates, which should help spur manufacturing
demand
