The budget deal changes almost everything you should expect from and because of Washington.
Combined with the big tax cut enacted last December, this new agreement is such a departure from the past in terms of economic policy and American political culture and puts in place such permanent changes in taxing and spending that the deal is likely to be used by historians to mark the point when&a;nbsp;the federal government made a very sharp turn from the past and began the new normal.
This new normal includes&a;nbsp;the following.
&l;strong&g;1. A New Era of Higher Interest Rates&l;/strong&g;. With financial markets now wildly gyrating at least in part because of an expectation of higher interest rates from the tax bill-caused larger budget deficits, it&s;s safe to assume that traders will look on the even higher permanent deficits from the budget deal as more fuel on an already raging U.S. economic fire. Monetary policy will be expected to offset the fiscal stimulus with higher rates. It&s;s hard to imagine that stock market growth will be as great as it has been over the past decade if less risky bonds provide a decent return.

Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE:AJRD) stock lost 12% of its value in the two days after the company reported earnings for the first quarter of 2018 -- a miss, and its third such miss in a row, according to data from Yahoo! Finance . Since that report and subsequent drop, however, Aerojet Rocketdyne has come roaring back, recovering all of its losses, and even adding a bit more.
- [By Ethan Ryder]
Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE:AJRD) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “With an experience of supplying some of the world’s most technologically advanced propulsion systems for over 70 years, Aerojet Rocketdyne serves a broad range of customers. Moreover, Aerojet Rocketdyne continues to expand its strong legacy propulsion franchises on the Standard Missile, Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missile propulsion systems. Aerojet Rocketdyne’s shares outperformed its industry in past 12 months. However, of late, the company is facing increased competition from entrepreneurs such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, which in turn can hurt its top-line performance. Aerojet Rocketdyne is subject to interest rate risk related to the issuance of debt. With the current U.S. economy being in favor of expanding interest rate, the credit market may not turn out to be much favorable for Aerojet Rocketdyne.”

In fact, Boeing and Lockheed Martin look to be two-time winners, as the second largest bump in funding is going to help pay for deep space missions, and to NASA's Orion crew vehicle and Space Launch System (SLS), which are designed to carry them. Orbital ATK (soon to be absorbed into Northrop Grumman) and Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE:AJRD) are other key players on the SLS project. Congress wants to pour an additional $294 million into this program, funding it with $5.1 billion next year.

On the one hand, faced with the prospect of American companies inventing a new rocket engine to power United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rockets, Russia's space agency has thrown shade on America's space industry. American engines are overpriced, says Mr. Komarov. And they're of worse quality than rocket engines made in Russia -- the implication being that ULA should buy Russian RD-180 engines instead of new engines from Blue Origin or Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE:AJRD).
