International crude oil futures are generally traded in Brent of ICE Exchange or WTI of NYMEX, and gold is generally COMEX's gold futures. However, due to capital control, it is impossible to open overseas futures accounts directly in China at present.

One way is to do foreign futures through large domestic futures companies (with subsidiaries in Hong Kong). For example, South China, BOC International, CSI International and Galaxy. The disadvantage is that the handling fee is more expensive, because they are actually transferred through real foreign brokers (they are secondary brokers, and the extra natural handling fee is expensive).

Then directly find foreign brokers, but foreign brokers require a high threshold for funds. As far as I know, the one who doesn't need a high threshold should be Yingtong. I remember it was at least 10 thousand yuan. As I said before, if you can't open it in China, you have to find a way to send money to Hong Kong (underground banks, trade remittances, in short, bypassing all supervision methods). Therefore, you have to consider the safety of funds. Of course, the advantages are cheap handling fee and good service.
