India, July 22 -- Indian shares are seen opening lower on Thursday, tracking mixed cues from global markets.

Oil prices remain elevated at six-week highs on widening Middle East tensions and fears of further disruption to crude supplies after Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have claimed an attack on two Saudi oil tankers transiting through the Red Sea.

The latest escalation has pushed WTI crude toward $89 a barrel, while Brent crude prices extended gains for a fifth straight session to surge above $95 a barrel, rekindling inflation worries and clouding the outlook for interest rates.
