Hello there fellow steemians!

So I've read through dozens of articles now about the topic but I've still not come across anyone clearly explain the two sets of numbers I have in steem power.

607.968 STEEM
(+27.552 STEEM)

Its the number in brackets which confuses me. I made a deposit onto my account to try and increase the steem power. So the top number - 607.968 rose. However the number in brackets rose only by a few decimal points.

Would anyone be able to explain these numbers to me a little better?

Thanks a bunch!
