Gold has been one of the best performing assets this year, making gains of almost 29% year to date, but it is also attractive as a global currency, according to one commodity analyst.

Tuesday, in an interview with Bloomberg News, Francisco Blanch, head of global commodity research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said that not only does gold make an attractive investment when one-quarter of global bonds are offering negative yields, but its carry costs are even lower compared to some currencies.

Data on Wednesday from payrolls processor ADP showing the U.S. private sector added 179,000 jobs in July suggested that the labor market continues to improve. But the data did not significantly alter expectations that the Fed will hold off raising interest rates until next year. Friday's release of the government's July jobs report will provide a broader picture of the labor market.
