| Good morning, Daily Money friends, it's Nathan Bomey welcoming you to Monday. |
| It's free! Well, sort of. That gigantic cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal has been partially freed. |
| Yay. But as I saw someone say on Twitter, the fact that a big boat got stuck and it took us a solid week to free it makes me think that maybe our society isn't advanced as I had thought. |

 | | Tug boats and diggers work to free the Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned Ever Given, which is lodged across the Suez Canal, Sunday, March 28, 2021. Two additional tugboats are speeding to canal to aid efforts to free the skyscraper-sized container ship wedged for days across the crucial waterway. That's even as major shippers increasingly divert their boats out of fear the vessel may take even longer to free. | | Suez Canal Authority via AP | |
| 💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: About 10% of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, or nearly $10 billion of goods daily. If they hit a snag in their efforts to get the ship out of the way, we could soon see more shortages of basic home goods. |
