As long as the above configuration is a _full_ configuration of a
server{} block, there shouldn't be any 301 redirects returned
directly by nginx. Most likely what you observe is a result of
incorrect configuration of server{} blocks and/or wrong hostname
used in request.

If it's not a full configuration - there isn't enough information
to provide any help. See here for some tips what can be useful:
