I'm not familiar with the syntax of churl, but assume that you can fetch the XML into a file to parse with awk. This is an example of one way to accomplish your task.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh

awk -v RS=">" '                      # we dont need closing tag mark; make it the record seperator
        /Percent/ {                    # data we are interested in has this field
                data = 0;
                gsub( " = ", "=" );             # easier to work with if there are no spaces round equal signs
                gsub( "\"", "" );               # for this case we dont expect blanks in the value so ditch quote marks
                for( i = 1; i < NF; i ++ )     # for each token that is var=value
                {
                        if( (x = split( $(i), a, "=" )) == 2 )   # split and save the value
                        {
                                data++;           # may not be necessary, but safe
                                var[a[1]] = a[2];
                        }
                }

                if( data )                    # if we saw data, print it
                {
                        printf( "%c %6.3f %6.3f%%\n", 65+idx, var["Price"], var["Percent"]);
                        idx++;
                }
        }' <current.xml

Change the printf() statement to print it in the format you need.

xml2-config

GNOME-XML(1)							       1.1.0							      GNOME-XML(1)

NAME

       xml-config - script to get information about the installed version of GNOME-XML

SYNOPSIS

       xml-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       xml-config  is  a  tool	that  is  used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       GNOME-XML.

OPTIONS

       xml-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of GNOME-XML on the standard output.  Add the --static option to print the linker flags  that
	       are necessary to statically link a GNOME-XML program.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GNOME-XML program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GNOME-XML program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead  of  the  installation  prefix that GNOME-XML was built with when computing the output for the
	       --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
