The S&P TSX bank index is up around 12 per cent since last quarter’s results, including a 19 per cent gain for Scotiabank and CIBC .

The exception is TD , which was hit with a US$3 billion fine and growth limits in the U.S. because of its anti-money laundering deficiencies.

The banks are now trading at a “lofty” 12.1 times earnings, a level justified by a constructive growth environment and robust capital positions.

Banks had set aside about $4.4 billion in total for potential loan losses, up 23 per cent from a year earlier .

Banks with U.S. exposure also stand to gain from a looser regulatory environment, say analysts.

Scotiabank kicks off earnings on Tuesday , followed by National Bank and RBC Wednesday .
