Zeta Global CEO David A. Steinberg joined CNBC’s Power Lunch to break down the latest findings from the Zeta Economic Index (ZEI) and what they reveal about the current state of the consumer economy. David highlighted the first month-over-month decline in the ZEI since the start of the year, pointing to rising gas prices as a key driver behind changing consumer behavior. While consumers are not yet broadly cutting spend, David noted meaningful shifts away from discretionary categories like travel, dining, and entertainment. The conversation reinforced Zeta’s position as a real-time source of consumer intelligence and data-driven market insights.
