Goldman has a strategy to play the trade war that divides the stock market, pitting Amazon vs Apple

Service-providing companies like Amazon will fare better than goods makers like Apple during a trade war, Goldman says.

Goods-producing companies like Apple, with $10.22 billion in sales in its Greater China category for the second quarter, Johnson & Johnson and Exxon Mobil are more exposed to tariff retaliation, Goldman says. During this market sell-off, Goldman says service stocks like Amazon, Google and Microsoft have less foreign input costs subject to tariffs and perform better. They may be better plays even if the trade dispute is resolved, the firm said.
