By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 11 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $7 million of 0% Accelerated Market Participation Securities due March 13, 2018 linked to the dollar-adjusted FTSE 100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The initial index level is equal to the index’s closing level on the pricing date multiplied by the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the dollar. The final index level will be similarly adjusted.
