July 25 (Reuters) - Iron ore futures climbed on Monday to their peaks in more than one week, extending a rally spurred by hopes of an economic rebound for top steel producer and consumer China in the third quarter, and support for the country's troubled property sector.

The most-traded iron ore, for September delivery, on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange DCIOcv1 rose as much as 9% to hit 723.50 yuan ($107.09) a tonne, its strongest level since July 14.

Iron ore's front-month August contract on the Singapore Exchange SZZFQ2 advanced by up to 4.1% to $107.35 a tonne, also the highest since July 14. It lodged its first weekly gain in three weeks on Friday.

Dalian coking coal DJMcv1 rose 5.5% and coke DCJcv1 was up 4.8%

China will make "great efforts" to consolidate its economic recovery particularly in the crucial third quarter, putting a priority on stabilising employment and prices, state media reported on Friday after a regular cabinet meeting.
