After a strong run in retail stocks from their lows, these numbers could dictate where the sector heads from here. The Agricultural Chemical and Fertilizer Stocks Index was the top performing tickerspy Index on the day, led by KMG Chemicals (Nasdaq: KMGB - News) with a 10% gain.Stocks squeaked out gains, with the Dow gaining 30 points to close at 10,437.
