Asian stocks declined, along with U.S equity futures, after a report that investigators are probing whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice.

A 100-200 points dip should only be looked at as a buying opportunity, said Amit Jeswani, founder, Stallion Asset said, adding “…we will not be worried until unless 9,100 is not broken.” He said the concerns for Indian equities remain largely global rather than anything local.

“We are bullish on the financial services space,” he told BloombergQuint by phone.

RBL Ltd., the youngest listed bank in the country, was among his top picks. “We think the Kolhapur-based bank could be the next ICICI or HDFC Bank,” he said.

Shares of the information technology company rose 2 percent, making it the second-best performer on the Nifty, after it managed to bag services contract from Finland-based Valmet.

As part of the multi-year engagement, Wipro will deliver the maintenance and support of the new ERP platforms in a Managed Services model covering all global locations in which Valmet operates.
