Pound dips as Mark Carney throws doubt on interest rate rise
Sterling dropped nearly a cent against the USA dollar to its lowest level since April 9 on the back of the comments, in which Carney highlighted "mixed" economic data.
"And then we will adjust to the impact of those decisions in order to keep the economy on a stable path".
"On the softer side some of the business surveys have come off. Retail sales have been a bit softer - we are all aware of the squeeze that is going on in the high street", the Bank of England boss stated.
The Governor tried to reduce expectations for a hike at the May meeting, noting that there were other meetings throughout the course of the year.
That was enough to shake confidence in a move in May, with market pricing dropping to less than 50 per cent from more than 80 per cent earlier in the week.
"I doubt that we will regularly use codewords to effectively pre-announce policy decisions from meeting to meeting", Mr Saunders said.

Western Digital (WDC) Scheduled to Post Earnings on Thursday
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board owns 0.1% invested in Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC ) for 663,995 shares. It dropped, as 68 investors sold WDC shares while 219 reduced holdings. 224 grew stakes while 82 funds acquired stakes.
Architas investment director Adrian Lowcock said Carney's guidance has yet again proven to be "hugely unreliable" and the BoE "lack conviction in their views - just what you don't want from a central bank".
Lowcock said: "Brexit continues to weigh on the country and its stock market, but the global economy is in good health which provides support to the UK's economy as well. Productivity is not increasing, which will limit the rate at which people's wages can pick up".
At the last MPC meeting in March Saunders was one of two members of the Committee who voted for an immediate hike in interest rates.
It will be a finely balanced decision and the next important statistic to look at will be the three monthly economic growth figure next week.
Because the BoE generally raises interest rates in increments of 25 bps, this suggests expectations for a rate hike in May are around 40 percent.
