By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 6 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $3.12 million of 0% semiannual review notes due March 23, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called if the index closes at or above its call level on any of four valuation dates.
