Pound Dips

The British pound extended losses Friday morning after BoE Governor Carney said that he expects rates to rise over the next few years but did not want to focus on "precise timing". He also said there "will be some differences of view" at May's policy meeting, surprising investors who were almost certain of a 25bps hike.
