New York, Feb. 22 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $5,647,000 of 0% knock-out buffer notes due Aug. 27, 2013 linked to a basket of equally weighted currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The underlying currencies are the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and Canadian dollar.
A knock-out event occurs if the basket falls by more than 20% on the final valuation date.
