Im no so sure about that. If the US default results in a global economic slowdown, which in turn means lower exports for China to say US and Euro. Then you have as a result, a lower demand for commodities.

Australia's economy is driven largely by demand for commodities, especially from China. Plus if there is a global slow down its a risk off trade and thus traditionally not great for Aussie dollar.
