Markets aren’t always rational, and neither is the commentary around them. Diana Mousina, Deputy Chief Economist at AMP, talks to Sean Aylmer about the five lessons she learnt this year, including the growing market impact of politics, how to read Trump’s trade agenda, why gold and tech defied the textbook, why Fed “speak” can be noise, and why inflation can stay sticky, even when everyone expects it to fade.

Budget deficits for years; Bondi charges laid; Treasury Wine Estate dumped

Today's question comes from listener Peter, who sent it through the Fear & Greed website:

Who measures emissions, how are they measured, is the number audited, checked off on, and by who? Is it measured the same way in every country? BHP and FMG can measure their emissions, I'm assuming they have budgets, but what about for smaller companies, companies that aren't listed? 

Sean Aylmer is joined by Thomas Hodgson from sustainability consultancy Anthesis for an answer to Peter's question.
