Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

There is a power shift in the Centre as far as ministries are concerned. P Chidambaram is back to where he always perhaps was - the finance ministry. While half of India went without power on Tuesday, there is no full-time Power Minister now as Sushil Kumar Shinde moves to ‘Home.’ Corporate affairs minister Veerappa Moily will have to shoulder additional charge of the power ministry. Reports indicate that a large scale restructuring in portfolio (government) may take place after the monsoon session in September.
 
The stock market didn’t really run out of power. Nifty managed to regain its lost ground to close above 5200 levels. The 5165 level is a critical reversal point.
 
The outlook today is a flat start in the early hours. US stocks were lower and Asian indices are mostly in the red. A softer Chinese manufacturing data has hurt sentiment.

India and South Korea will report their latest manufacturing data later today. Expectations of stimulus action this week by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are also lessening.
