LONDON, Feb 9 — UK shares were boosted today by upbeat earnings and forecasts from drugmaker GSK and homebuilder Barratt, and positive sentiment also spilled over from a Wall Street rally overnight.

“In the present scenario, the London market is underweight and hence is in a position to attract high valuation.”
