Philadelphia, July 23 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to price zero-coupon return enhanced notes due Aug. 8, 2008 linked to a basket of Asian indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Amex Hong Kong 30 with a 16.5% weight, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 with a 22% weight, the Korea Stock Price Index 200 with a 29.65% weight, the MSCI Singapore with a 10.10% weight and the MSCI Taiwan with a 21.75% weight.
