British Pound Down on BOE Unexpected Comments

The British pound went down versus most of the 16 main traded currencies this Wednesday after Bank of England officials affirmed that a weaker pound can boost the economic recovery in the nation, shunning traders from pound priced assets.
After Bank of England posted statements indicating that the inflation will remain below the 2 percent target for an extended period and Mervyn King affirmed that a weak pound can help the British economy to escape from the worst recession in its modern story, the pound declined consistently versus most of its rivals on foreign-exchange markets.
GBP/USD traded at 1.6554 as of 18:01 GMT from a previous rate of 1.6737 yesterday...link
