WHILE equity markets have entered bear market territory in recent days, investors can expect a sizeable "bear market bounce" in the first half of 2019, JP Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM) said in its quarterly market outlook on Thursday.

JPMAM's Singapore-based global market strategist Jasslyn Yeo noted that several potential positive catalysts support the case for a significant bounce, including the recent change to a more dovish view by the US Federal Reserve's policymaking committee.
