BofA raises PT on most gold, copper producers
** BofA Global Research raises price targets on most gold miners and copper producers
** Expects gold to hit $3,000/ounce in the next 12-18 months and copper rising to $12,000/tonne or $5.44/pound in 2026
** Sees that Chinese stimulus measures could strengthen the outlook for global growth and potentially reduce the likelihood of increasing Fed rate cuts
** Sees gold benefiting from ongoing central bank purchases, and lower share of dollar in forex portfolios could prompt more central bank buying, along with physical buying in India and China
** On aluminum, BofA sees commodity benefiting from similar demand factors as copper, and should be supported by Chinese constraints; upgrades Alcoa AA.N to "buy" for exposure to strong aluminum (and alumina) prices
