(LEAD) S. Korea's producer prices rise to 10-month high in Jan.

SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's producer prices jumped to a 10-month high in January as higher oil costs drove up prices of manufactured goods, the central bank said Tuesday.

The prices of goods and services paid to producers jumped 2.8 percent last month from a year earlier, in the biggest monthly rise since a 3.5 percent growth in March last year, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).
