July 24 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening 8 points higher at 7,565 on Wednesday, according to financial bookmakers.

* DE LA RUE: The UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has opened a criminal investigation into passport and banknote printer De La Rue DLAR.L over "suspected corruption" in its business in South Sudan, sending its shares plunging to 16-year lows. BRITISH AIRWAYS: British Airways has lost a legal bid to stop its pilots from going on strike over pay in the busy summer holiday season but said it plans to appeal the decision. RYANAIR: Ryanair's RYA.I Irish pilot union on Tuesday began a ballot of members on possible strike action with results due by Aug. 9, the FORSA-IALPA union said in a statement. OIL: Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday, extending gains as rising tensions with Iran fuelled concerns about supply disruptions and as U.S. inventory data showed a much bigger than expected drop in crude stockpiles. GOLD: Gold prices rose on Wednesday, moving away from a one-week low touched in the previous session, as escalating tensions in the Middle East drove investors towards the safe-haven metal, while a stronger dollar limited the metal's gain. The UK blue chip index closed 0.6% higher on Tuesday, helped by broad gains on a combination of generally positive corporate results from Wall Street and Europe and bets that major central banks would cut interest rates soon.
