Ths stock market is not considered in GDP. So by that measure it does not directly impact "economic growth." I can see an indirect relation that says that US investors (primarily through pensions and 401Ks) are the primary benefactors of a growing US stock market which then translates to more investment and opportunity of US citizens, but that is a pretty long trail to account for our economic path right now.
