If the US defaults on its debt, do you really think that the flight to safety (i.e. quality) will be to US debt?

Forget bonds. If the US defaults US bonds will tank and other countries could follow suit due to the knock on effect. What will be a sure bet in times of crises such as this is gold - the eternal save haven - that price will simply sky rocket.

Well, people will probably buy those two currencies as well. US default would result in broad depreciation of the dollar compared to many currencies.

I guarantee that if the US defaults, US bonds will decrease in value. People will buy non-US assets, like the Euro.
