I was also surprised not to see the open interest go down today for the puts. On the other hand, the Put to Call ratio is now at 1.17 (It was at 1.24x yesterday).
Regarding the premiums, one only needs to look at the bolly bands to get a rough idea of why those are going down (ie: Correlation between implied volatility and bolly bands).
