China's equity market continued to face more downside risks than upside in the near term, mainly considering the potential deterioration of global economic conditions due to the continued escalation of tensions between China and the US, etc., according to UBS' research report.

UBS earlier estimated that an additional 54% tariff would lead to a 1-2% drop in corporate companies directly, and could drag earnings down by up to 3% if the total tariff is raised to 104%, as the US accounts for 3% of the revenue of MSCI China-listed companies.
