UBS believes the mere prospect of a trade war with China could weigh on shares of many S&P 500 companies with out-sized exposure to China. "With the IP investigation, we see rising risks of trade actions against China and given inherent difficulties of a tariff on IP, tariffs could be placed on select China imports, which total $500 billion," says UBS strategist Keith Parker.

After The Bell: Dow Drops 287 Points Amid More Tariff Trauma
The Dow lost nearly 300 points today, its second day of triple-digit losses. Tuesday marked the sixth straight day of losses for the Dow, marking the index's longest losing streak since March 2017. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 287.26 points, or 1.2%, to 24700.21, while the S&P 500 Index slipped 11.18 points, or 0.4%, to 2762.57, and the Nasdaq lost 21.44 points, or 0.3%, to 7725.59. Well, sort of, according to SunTrust Robinson Humphrey's Keith Lerner: "At this point, the tariffs are not yet a game changer, but risks are increasing." Lerner writes that 10% on $200 billion of goods sounds like a lot, but it amounts to $20 billion, which is actually a fairly small amount given the U.S. economy weighs in a $20 trillion.
