Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) is up 4.2% at $28.28 at last glance, as regional bank stocks continue their recovery following SVB Financial Group's (SIVB) collapse, with more potential tailwinds in store. Bouncing off last session's two-year low of $26.32, BAC is still down 17.6% since the start of the month.
