SAO PAULO, March 16 (Reuters) - Brazil's Treasury

repurchased millions of real-denominated government bonds on

Monday in an unusual move aimed at stabilizing the local bond

market and keeping trading orderly.

The Treasury also canceled some planned bond auctions due to

take place on Tuesday and Thursday, it said in a statement.

* The Treasury bought back 14.8 million fixed-rate NTN-F

bonds and 2.45 million LTN bonds in the morning.

* It repurchased another 3.55 million inflation-linked

NTN-B bonds in the afternoon, while also selling 150,000 of the

same bond.

* The extraordinary deals followed a jump in local

interest-rate futures last week, hit by the war in the Middle

East; those eased on Monday after the bond buybacks.

* A central bank poll released on Monday showed

economists now expect a smaller interest rate cut this week.

* The Treasury did not cancel Tuesday's auction of

floating-rate LFT bonds, which tend to be more popular with

investors when markets are unsettled.
