>> dan, we will get back to the cloud in just a second but i want to talk about the prime members, of course, amazon has said we have a hundred million of them but now cost you more to be part of that elite group, do you think that customers might bulk to the price? >> we expect minimal if any churn, part of the issue is here they've built something that's basically unre pl icable. this was like picasso-like quarter that we saw. >> right. >> they can raise prices and prime membership increases another 25% this year. >> right, originally $79, then $99, let me tell you wall street loves the fact that they are hiking the number.

when the membership fee was hiked went up dramatically. let's move onto cloud servicings. aws, propelling earnings in many ways, how long can the news last on this front? >> it's a great question. we are in the early stages of just the secular cloud shift, you saw with microsoft, growing almost 100%. this is really something for amazon. second, third inning of this playing out. profitable business as they are getting knocked on federal side. at this point firing all cylinders and the cloud business has been a cap for the bulls here. >> i have to ask you, microsoft has the cloud business, that did very well, a critical question about intel, though, they have the security flaw in chips, processors, looks like it didn't

bother them this quarter, is that problem behind them? >> yeah, they handled that -- initially choppy but in terms of how they held this, hand held partners, investors through that. you saw fundamentally just a rock-solid quarter and this is bullish. not just intel but the overall chip sector, a trifecta and now really, i think will start to come into the major shock. >> thank you so much. cheryl: dow is down 83, there you go. well, historic meeting happening in korea, kim jong un becoming the first north korean leader to visit the south since the korean war. kim meeting with south korean

investigation. >> seems like wells fargo can't get out of the trouble, wall street journal reporting that the labor department is investigating whether wells fargo has been pushing people to 401(k) plans to roll into more expensive retirement accounts, the journal says the investigation also looks into whether the retirement unit pushed customers which of course would mean more revenue for the bank. this, of course, comes after the billion dollar fine just last week. cheryl: vote of confidence with the ceo as well. >> they are supposed to act as fiduciary, they are suppose today guard your money and not take your money. cheryl: beer and space, go. tracee: first of all, you to get to space, we will get to that problem in a minute. if you ever we wanted to get drunk in space, two companies are trying to make that happen, they want to create the first beer design for space to drink

. i carried two copies so the bureau could always have access but i always thought about it as mine like a dairy. >> confirmed to the justice department general interviewed him about handling of the memo and that's what's happening now. cheryl: a lot happening, a lot of headlines crossing this morning, all big news later today, it's about the economy, how did the economy perform in the first quarter, we are going to get our first look at growth domestic product this morning from the first quarter of 2018. pwc partner mitch roschelle is here. >> good morning, cheryl. cheryl: you have to wonder, though, if we are going to see a boost from americans feeling better about tax reform. >> i'm a betting man i'd stick it around 2%. kind of a mixed bag in numbers. retail sales have been sluggish but consumer confidence high, things to remember about gdp,

70% is driven by the consumer and it's been a mixed bag on business spending on the first quarter, we will probably see it land around 2%, one thing to remember, silver ryan lining, the first quarter tends to be sluggish relative to the other three. if it comes at two, doesn't mean the entire year will be slow, the white house is banking on a big number though, to pay for a tax reform. cheryl: i'm worried too about the market, we saw huge gains in the markets for 2017, maybe that would bleed into consumer spending and give us the unexpected pop, not to disagree with assessment. i guess i'm hopeful that would get 70% of the economy and have surprise this morning. >> one of the things we saw which is good news in some respects in the binning of the first quarter, american consuming were saving more than spending and that may be grinding down gdp a little bit.

so it's a lit bit of slow ramp-up, i'm half-full guy. cheryl: i know. i'm not used to this lack of optimism. let's talk about mortgage rates, nine straight weeks mortgage rates have been going on, of course, on the back of the 10-year treasury, we understand that. if you're worried about the housing sector now because we are at 30-year fix, 4.46%. >> i'm not really that worried everybody on the 10-year treasury worries about when it becomes 3%, the housing market, they probably worry when mortgage rates are around 5%, there's a little bit of room there, if you look at existing home sales, home sales that we saw in the last week or so, really strong numbers there. the fact of the matter is we are in home-buying season, there's a shortage of housing and huge number of min el ails who want to buy homes. cheryl: you have a big birthday happening at the rochelle house. >> my twins are now 18.

morning. we start with what's happening right now in korea. it is a historic meeting, kim jong un has become the first north korean leader to visit the house since the korean war, the two countries say that there will be no more war. >> greg palkock with the very latest. greg. >> cheryl, we have been watching these events all day, yeah, they are historic, they are amazing and if the words become reality, yes, it is an important day here not just for korea but for the entire global security but that's the key thing, can the words become reality, we watched in joint statement with kim jong un, the leader of north korea and moon jae-in, the president of south korea, their goal together is the complete denuclearization of the peninsula and that means north korea they say they want to enjoy peace and progress without the fear of war, they say let us

not repeat the past mistakes and a whole lot of horrendously deadly mistakes in korea. they also indicated that they would work towards achieving the end of the korean war. remember, there's no peace treaty after 68 years since the start of the war, again, again ralties, positive but we were waiting for a little bit more details, debt got that there, maybe too soon, let's recap the event, we started for the first time since the korean war a north korean leader kim jong un cross over from north into south korea, that happened along the dmz, i've seen personally kim jong un several times. i've never seen him so assured, confident, maybe playful, he reviewed a traditional korean honor guard, one commentator that he made a point of not looking into the eyes of the south korean military, there's still the military background.

he wrote inself-incrimination and guest book of the peace house where the talks will be held i might add writing about an age of peace in historic start for age of peace, right at the beginning of the sessions he was looking that way, there were two lengthy sessions in that conference. my insiders in the south korean government said that most of the day, most of the agenda had been decided but what hadn't been decided is what exactly to say about denuclearization, it is so sensitive and, of course, that's what the u.s. is watching, the white house issued a comment saying they are pleased with the progress of the discussions and they're having their own discussions because, remember, all of this is a lead-up to a meeting between president trump and kim jong un maybe in just a couple of weeks and so they are looking at what has been said at this that they could then follow up on. again, we have this final statement just about 20 minutes

ago. the rest of the agenda here is a reception, dinner, perhaps, will have a toast of final comments but i think overall what people will pull from this is good chemistry between the two people, the 65-year-old south korean president, 33-year-old north korean leader saying exactly the right things. i'm sure you will find analysts saying we wish there was more detail. we wish there was more comprehensive discussion about how the things will be implemented. cheryl: sure. >> but they'll be another meeting, president of south korea will go north this fall. cheryl: that's good. you know, i want to ask you about the report that is have come out in the last 48 hours that there was actually a blast at north korean nuclear site and one of the reasons that kim jong un is now coming down to the negotiating table with the south koreans and with the united states is because his nuclear program is frankly in shambles right now.

>> shambles, i'm not too sure about that. you're right, in the past couple of days fresh report that is the nuclear test site that north korea has been using is actually defunct, collapsed the last fall, during the last testing of nuclear device, they couldn't use it anyway, it was dangerous. the past weekend when kim jong un came out with a statement that along with stopping the testing of the missiles they could close down a nuclear test site, it came out in the days later that, hey, there wasn't anything to shut down, that shows how difficult these negotiations will be, but it's all part of the process. >> thank you for that, greg. and another important meeting happening today in just a few hours, president trump will welcome german chancellor angela merkel to the white house. now, the two leaders are expected to discuss a range of topics but the most pressing the looming u.s. steel aluminum,

steam tariffs. will merkel make a last-ditch effort to avoid a trade war. joining us now analyst kiron, i want to start about the conversation that we just had in the demilitarized zone between north and south korea saying that good chemistry between the two leaders, but will we really get more than that? >> i think so, there's going to be in terms of the merkel meeting with donald trump, i think reassessing of what it means to lead the global order and when you look at the -- the segment you just did on north korea, i think it reality relates to the upcoming meeting between merkel and donald trump, what i mean by that is the fact that in the context of the north korean, south korean meeting is

donald trump as -- as the center of the energy. what he did in 2017 in terms of pushing for, crushing sanctions against the north korean regime. asia summit where he helped organize some of the indicateo pacific powers against north korea, you know, angela merkel has to take that very seriously and i believe that the president goes into that meeting even stronger as a result of what's happening all the way across the globe. >> wow. that didn't even occur to me that the things two are related. we are not expecting the kind of meeting that we saw with the french leader, right, this isn't a working buddy, not back slapping, not holding hands with merkel as she comes to visit, will angela merkel be able to get some kind of relief from the sanctions, will she get another extension of the deadline and can trump rest more from her particularly given the fact the point that you just made that

trump is more powerful here because of what's going on in north and south korea? >> i think that angela americale faces -- meekerel faces up hill battle in discussions with president trump, unlike the meeting with macron where there's good chemistry as you noted and as we know very well, the chemistry is not there but the problems that the germans face with the americans are pretty substantial. there's a trade deficit of about $64 billion in 2018, it's projected. it was about that much last year, we haven't seen germany come to the table on hezbollah, you know, the terrorist organization that's fully funded by the iranian regime, the eu has designated military wing a problem but germany has not designated it as a terrorist

organization. we are divided on some big, key issues. and i believe that president trump will press her hard. >> she's less powerful than she used to be. i'm sure iran will be part of the conversation. thank you for being flexible and being able to work in north and south korea. >> thank you. >> make sure you stay to fox business for coverage with angela merkel and president trump at 1:50 p.m. eastern. cheryl: going back to historic meeting in north and south korea, vowing now to end the korean war. we will have more on that, plus, there's this. >> there was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people. cheryl: could avengers set a record-breaking debut that could surpass star wars, mark sergeant

coming in. we are seeing escalation in selling of dow futures, down of 5 now, we are hearing from exxon chevron today, s&p down and nasdaq still holding in the green. 5 and a half in the upside. you're watching fbn:am this case wide open! turns out the prints at the crime scene- awwwww...did mcgruffy wuffy get a tippy wippy? i'm serious! we gotta move fast before- who's a good boy? is him a good boy? erg...i'm just gonna go. oh, you wanna go outside? you gotta go tinky poo-poo? i already went, ok? in the bathroom! as long as people talk baby-talk to dogs, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

[laughter] >> it's been going on for 10 years and 18 films later, culmination of heros at one time, so i don't know, $248 million is a lot. right now tracking at

230 million, so -- cheryl: we are on the fence about that. >> i think it will be close. cheryl: last time you were in the show you were talking about the box office in general for march has been slumping a little bit, has april picked up a little bit? >> i think this is going to help, it's end of april. i think it's overall it's going to help. disney has had really quite a run. cheryl: yeah. >> they still have 2 or 3 more films up their sleeve that will make them box office king. cheryl: back to avengers, i'm not going to give anything away, characters that are in and some are out, do you think it affects future performance s there going to be fatigue on the franchise like the avengers? >> everybody saying it's going to be super hero fatigue, black panther comes along and makes more money than anything. cheryl: sure. >> it's beat out black panther in terms of presales, i don't think the fatigue is coming,

they are smart, they keep all the films having a different tone, genre. cheryl: the big question is robert downing going to hang up the suit? >> i think after the next suit, maybe. cheryl: he has to bring in some more cash, thank you very much. >> you too. >> hines man trophy winner becoming cleveland's attempt to find franchise quarterback. >> first pick from the 2018 nfl draft the cleveland browns select baker mayfield. >> jared max coming up with sports highlights just ahead and let's check in on the stock index futures, what we have been watching all morning, the dow lower by 102 points, nasdaq now higher by 6. you're watching fbn:am.

this is measure of market certainty which spiked and nice to see that come down a little bit further. cheryl: let's talk about what's happening in washington, historic meeting, high-stakes meeting between chancellor merkel meeting with president trump at the white house, what do investors in europe want to see come out of this meeting? >> well, you know, i think they like to see that the u.s. and europe particularly germany are from the same sheet again, obviously in the past 12 to 18 months concerns that maybe things have not been as smooth as they once were. obviously mr. macron, french president was in washington this week, hopefully he smoothed the way a little bit and mr. trump will be more recent i have to angela merkel es pleas. >> i have to ask you about gdp. all eyes focused on it.

a real call on how well trump is doing with the economy, what are you expecting? >> i think the gdp number is going to be relatively solid. basically we have an economy in the u.s. which seems to be rolling along pretty nicely. not as we would like but certainly it could be awful lot worse, the risk, of course, gdp often disappoints the downside, i think markets will be prepared for that therefore, if there was a downside global, i think it's just enough momentum out there in the market to look through that. >> we will be watching for 2%, it'll be interesting to find out. peter, thank you so much for coming up, appreciate it. cheryl: gdp8:30 eastern time, maria bartiromo live for us. maria: we will be on it, happy friday, girls, thank you, good morning, everybody, thanks for joining, i'm maria bartiromo, it is friday april 27, top stories
