Bar chart showing Canadian financial stocks climbing to 37 percent of the TSX index since February.

Canadian financials now make up 37% of the TSX composite, the largest share in eight years and up from 31% in March, as capital has rotated out of sectors most exposed to the Strait of Hormuz war. Since the conflict began in late February, financial stocks have gained 22% while materials stocks, which include most gold miners, have fallen 25% despite a partial rebound this past week. The Big Six banks now trade at roughly 15 times forward earnings, the widest premium over their US peers since 2010.
