Tacoma, Wash., June 28 - Morgan Stanley priced $4 million of 0% Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due Dec. 28, 2012 linked to the performance of a basket of currencies relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of equal weights of the Chilean peso, the Korean won and the Philippine peso. The basket return will be positive if the currencies strengthen relative to the dollar and negative if they weaken.
