He said any dip around Rs 2700 is the opportunity to buy this stock with a positional term view. At this level, the strong offers a strong risk to reward ratio. The current declines are healthy correction and the stock has seen uptrend.

Amid limited cues from the global markets, domestic stock markets are likley to begin on a positive note, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said. Barring a few, all major markets across the world are closed today on account of Christmas Holiday.
