San Diego, June 5 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $979,000 of 0% knock-out buffer notes due June 17, 2013 linked to the performance of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A knock-out event occurs if the rupiah has depreciated, as compared to the initial spot rate, by more than 20%.
