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.
