By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 12 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $905,000 of 0% knock-out buffer notes due July 13, 2011 linked to a basket of stocks, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of Roper Industries, Inc. with a 5% weight, Itron, Inc. with a 20% weight, United Technologies Corp. with a 20% weight, Johnson Controls, Inc. with a 20% weight, Rockwell Automation, Inc. with a 20% weight, EnerNOC, Inc. with a 5% weight and Echelon Corp. with a 10% weight.
