You have to book the USD cost of the EUR for it to calculate the
gains/losses - see adjusted example below.
plugin "beancount.plugins.auto_accounts"
option "operating_currency" "USD"
2024-01-01 price EUR 1.0 USD
2024-01-02 * "Opening balance "
Assets:EU:Bank 1000 EUR {{1000 USD}}
Equity:Opening-Balances
2024-01-03 price EUR 2 USD
